The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

[Hom3r]

I have an interview for a job "Temporary Quality Assistants" on Monday, it only lasts until the end of the year, but you never know.

Appaerntly they need 3 so they may be looking for the best.

Came home at 5am today.

Feeeling knackered now but was good to just go out and have a fun night out with good music and nice drinks.

[Sasha222]

So so glad you had a fab night. You deserve it. Really happy for you

I got a letter from the DWP this morning and they also sent a copy on CD so I could actually listen to it - it'e only taken them four years to finally get it right.

But it's happened at last so I'm happy

I'm happy you are happy. I like happy people.

I didn't realise the DWP used CDs now, it certainly sounds like a good idea and allows you to keep your dealings private, I always used to sympathise with the people who had to get others to read their mail out to them. I wonder if more Government Departments have the same service available?

almost holiday time... just today and tomorrow to get through...

Following the phone all telling me that the company I had an interview for on Monday, telling me that they are now only employing 1 person at the moment instead of the 3, I had a phone call from a quality manager who was impressed with my CV, (this was one of the 28 companies I sent my CV to) and wants to see me next Thursday for a chat.

They have a person doing the job I did, but they are long term sick and they are looking into expanding the job, so for them to call me hopefully a job is just around the corner.

Excellent news - really pleased for you.

Let us know how you get on, please.

Yes best of luck Hom3er.

Remember that if you've got an interview it's normally because they like what they've read or know about you (few people bother interviewing no hopers). If you do come under what may seem aggressive, patronising or even intimidatory questioning at any point, stay calm and professional at all times. If, for example, it's put to you that you have serious shortcomings in certain relevant areas then do your best to set out the qualities, experience and knoweldge you have which compensate. It's common for interviewers to appear very judgemental about certain things - qualifications, say - but what they're often doing is trying to see how well you argue your case and cope with the pressure they're deliberately exposing you to. The more you can research and anticipate the company and the requirements of the role, the better equipped you'll be to translate what you feel you have to offer into language they'll understand. Basically, you have to try to sell yourself and not just wilt under the pressure. If doing that seems a tad arrogant, please just accept that unless you're obviously making it all up as you go along, the interviewer will be delighted to learn that you've thought about the position and the relevant skills/knowledge you have. I suppose interviewing is often a bit of a game, even though I accept it doesn't often feel like it at the time.

One final tip. I often hear it said that the first impression is vital and I can't deny that it is important but at least you have time to change that impression if things don't start well. No such opportunity to change the final impression you make, however, so try to finish off the interview on a positive note by, for example, summarising briefly what you feel you have to offer or commenting favourably on what you've gleaned about the company/post during the interview. There really are many ways in which this can be done but the key is to plan your strategy beforehand and adapt it to suit the situation you find on the day.
