Interview for my dream job the week before I go back to work....

[BeetlebumShesAGun]

Hi, basically I am in a blind panic about this interview.

I have worked at the same place for 5 years and while I was on maternity a secondment opportunity for the job I have been wanting/working towards became available. I applied and heard nothing for months. Today I have had an email informing me I have an interview on Wednesday. I'm due to return to work the following week.

I'm basically feeling pretty low about the fact I haven't been around so my profile is lower than the other candidate. I previously worked in the department the job is in, and the hiring manager is my mentor but I'm feeling very nervous about my chances.

Any tips?

Congratulations on the interview. Is there someone at work you could have a chat with about it?

Just go in and be yourself, and give it your best shot. If its meant to be, it will be. It'll be nothing compared with giving birth
