I had a job interview this morning, put it this way, it was as bad as a job interview could go, from the moment i got up it was doomed. Am saying no more, its just too much of a mess to digest. I once walked out of an interview when I realised I'd be working for an utter arsehole if I actually got the job. 1st off i slept in, then the suit i had ready had a white mark down the back. While getting that off i knocked the bowl of water which fell into my shoes, during that at near enough 8am (interview at 9:20am) i forgot to put the bath on (and the thing takes ages and i have no shower) so i ended up getting washed in about 3 inches of cold water bending parts of my body that haven't been bent in years. I almost rang and canceled... Didn't have time for breakfast, so i felt sick all the way there. Missed the metro, dropped my phone getting money out of my suit pocket (as the fuking thing was skin tight as i haven't worn it in a while) then realised while i was waiting for the metro i'd forgotten not only my bank details, but the phone bill i took with me was dated around 4months old and i needed one that was 3 months old at the most. Really was thinking of just going home and going to bed.... When i got to town i couldn't find where i was supposed to be, it started raining, my application form got soaked at the top as did I, finally found it just on time, then the security people took the living piss making me a pass and sent me to the wrong floor. Seriously, i should of turned back there... Got in. The guy didn't look too happy with me, i explained i got sent to the wrong floor but he didn't seem to be that interested, handed over my dog eared wet application form with a half arsed smile, and he told me to wait outside and he'd come and get me. 15mins later (am guessing it was payback for making him wait) he comes out and starts talking about the job then asks for either my birth Certificate or Passport, neither i had, "Oh well it seems like you've had a wasted journey, i need one or the other to even make a file on your, without it i cant even interview you, sorry". You are fuking kidding me... So off home i went. I'm not going to say where it was for, because i've got an appointment to go back next Thursday! |

I have my first ever job interview tomorrow, at Wicks in South Shields, has anyone got any tips, bare in mind I'm only 16.
i) Be nice and mirror your interviewer ... ii) Divide a piece of paper into 2 columns in the left write the skills that the job requires and in the right put the skills that you have.... ... you will have some differences /gaps you know need to work out how you can solve/mask any questions about these gaps. however tbh... being nice and personable usually gets you through the 1st interview of 95% of jobs... if not the job |

Chez, you interviewing in-house or on the move?
External job, just to see whats what really. Going to test the water before looking at an internal move. However, if they want me (big question obviously) they may make me an offer i cant refuse. Which would be nice. Its another European role at a mid-cap in my sector. Based between Trocadero and Champs Elysee and just round the corner from my favourite restaurant. Good luck to Wullie too What is your job title, mate? Its quite complicated really as i could take quite a few different titles. I have 2 official titles as i work across 2 roles atm. The current job title i use most often is European Market Access manager. If i'm with customers, i give a more academic sounding title. Sounds interesting, I'm thinking about heading to Europe, need a change of pace. Plus my field is taken more seriously across the pond. Bidet repairman? Snail herder? Sausage stuffer? Herring pickler? Cuckoo clock maker? Eh, eh? |

Aye that's always been my approach in interviews and in interviewing people. If you're easy going and will fit into the department, you're most of the way there. |
