Hi

I have an interview on Thursday, its quite informal over lunch with director and managing director of potential employers.

Id appreciate some tips with

a) what to wear to be smart but not suited and cover postnatal belly
b) how to come across as employable, clever person when my brain currently resembles one of DS dirty nappies

Thanking you!
Becca

Well Done Beccarollo

janh · 27/11/2003 17:26

Well done! Fingers crossed now

Advice please -

There was an awkward point at the end when the MD went to settle the bill and I didnt find appropriate gap to thank him properly or offer to pay my bit

I was thinking of dropping them both an email saying "Thank You for lunch and your time today - look forward to hearing from you Regards Rebecca"

What do you think - dont want to look like a brown nose!

i think the e-mai idea sounds good - it shows your def intersted and that you apreciated the lunch.

well done you deserve it

Well done Becca. Sounds like it went great.

The e-mail sounds like a good idea.

Well, after my confidence straight after the interview it seems I may have spoken too soon!

They said they would contact me late this week and at 3pm Friday still no word?!
