Wish me luck

I have an interview next week.
I haven't had an interview in years!
There's usually standard questions aren't there?
What questions do you think I'll be asked?
It's to do with testing, that's all i can give away.

“where were you on the evening of Friday 12th January at 10.35 pm when the local Greggs was burgled”... that kind of interview?

Don't worry about what questions will be asked - if you look like you've over-prepared you will come across as lacking in confidence.

Relax and be yourself - try to see it as a conversation, a formal one albeit. If they don't want you, it's their loss.

I never lie. :snooty:

I'm hoping to be able to sneak a peek on here during quieter times. :gigglesnshit:

Not really, I wouldn't do that.

Good luck with what ever it is, if you're as assertive and witty like you're here on Dogs, you shouldn't have a problem :thumbsup:

Thanks.
I'm not nervous yet, and I don't mind if I don't get it so no real pressure but I'll get butterflies nearer the time.
I'll have to stay off here for a few days before just in case I burst into sweary mode!

I agree with Az... don't be preparing to much.
You prepare and what you expected doesn't materialize and your left floundering.
Calm cool collected and ready for a good old chinwag.
You know the basics of an interview the rest is just you being confident and popular you.

Good luck LM!
I generally wing interviews. I remember my first interview out of Uni, and I did what the career guidance people at uni advised, and revised for that interview more than I did my exams.
Turns out when you go into an interview with a head packed full of shit, you stumble over everything and lose your ability to chat like a proper person :mrgreen:
