Job Interview and Terrified

[SoAnxiouss]

I have a job interview tomorrow and I’m absolutely terrified. I was asked if I’d like to interview just before the weekend and I don’t feel prepared at all.

Any tips?

Sorry sorry didn't see your update well done xxxxx

I think @SoAnxiouss was offered the job upthread 🙂.

I haven't heard about my interview yet, which I'm guessing is bad news 🤪...

@JobbieBobbie it's only Been a week fingers crt

Crossed

If they promoted you then it's not necessarily a bad thing. Was it competency based questions?
That's what mine was.

I watched that yesterday and wonder womaned before my job interview today...

@changedforonenightonly

I did! They offered it to me on Wednesday morning

Sorry, posted too soon!!
I hope you hear soon @changedforonenightonly
Did they give you a timeframe?

@changedforonenightonly, the questions seemed to be lots of What would you do in this situation-type questions. What do you mean by competency-based questions?

Maybe you're right about the prompting, but I guess it's a bad sign not to have heard yet (my interview was on Thursday).

I just feel a bit gutted, and I can't tell my colleagues for obvious reasons. It wouldn't even be as easy decision to take the job, but it would be nice to be offered it 😄.

I need to dust myself off, and get on with things, but I suppose I need to get the bad news first. I've booked an interview course through my union, so I am trying.

@Iamblossom, I've that you Wonder woman-ed before your interview 😄. How was it?

^I love that you

It went really well! Thankyou for asking 🥰

In that case, I'm going to Wonder woman before my next interview 😄.

Thank you for this

I was offered my job 🙂! I'm pleased, and I'm just waiting for some more info before I decide

@JobbieBobbie well done and congratulations!!

I'm still waiting to hear which can't be good.
I got an interview though so if I didn't get the next interview then I know what to brush up on. I've had a really good week at work since the interview so I'm happier than I was.

Thanks @changedforonenightonly.

It's really difficult waiting to hear back - I'd passed through feeling quite low, and ended up just wanting to know (even if it was bad news) so that I could move on.

And you're right - you must have submitted a good application to get an interview, and the interview itself is also good experience, no matter what the outcome is. I'm still reflecting on my interview; I'm not sure I always grasped what they were asking me, so I feel a bit frustrated by that.

I've got an interview course soon, so I'm still going to go on that. And I'm going to keep a bit of a closer eye on my personal development going forwards as well.

Let us know when you hear back 🙂.

I applied for this job in temper with my current job. The issues seem to now be being looking at. After 10 years. I shit you not.

I'm not convinced it's even the right move for me as it's a bit more travelling which is a ball ache and I also think I sold myself too low on the salary expectations.

All in all I bet I get offered another interview as that is Sod's Law

Oh, that sounds promising! Maybe this is the best outcome for you right now 🙂. There's definitely a lot to be said for the devil you know.

Unfortunately, I can't really see anything changing at my work in the near future, so I think I'll probably accept the job offer once some details are worked out. I'm not planning on burning any bridges though.
