Had an interview yesterday and will have to wait a week or so to find out if I've been shortlisted for the second stage. Last time I was job-hunting (9 years ago) I was self-employed but this time I'm finding it hard to get my head back into my current job, especially while waiting to hear about this other role!
I think I really want it now, having heard more about the employer and the job description... but I'm afraid to get my hopes up. I think the interview went generally quite well but I feel like could have expressed my skills and experience better. Just hope they'll give me another shot at it in the second round. I'll be disappointed if I don't at least make the shortlist - it's the best opportunity to come this way in a long time with a really good local employer.
Agh it's so hard to put to the back of your mind while you wait isn't it?? This is my first interview for a long time and I'd forgotten how draining it is mentally!
Don't know what I'm hoping for by posting all this, apart from getting it out of my brain - DH doesn't get it (he's been in the same job for 20+ years, with no thought of moving on) and my mum says the usual nice, encouraging things but really I need a kick up the bum to get on with my life/work in the meantime while I'm waiting!
