Interview Today Positive vibes please - Update

Recommended Posts

I work for a local authority, and we're going through a major restructure at the moment. :( My level jobs are being cut from 39 posts to 19 posts and we all have to interview for a post.

 

My interview is 12.30 today, I will be given a case study and 1 hour to prepare a presentation followed an hour long interview. I'm scared :(

 

The level above me have already had their interviews and the results were given a couple of days ago and many of my friends and colleagues haven't been successful, so I'm not feeling very positive.

 

So please lots of positive vibes for me today please :pray:

Aahh thanks everyone for your good wishes and positive vibes. :)

 

It went pretty badly :( I think my presentation may have been passable. The interview questions were awful though, and my mind went completely blank. I used the stalling methods (sips of water, please can you repeat the question) far too much and they didn't help anyway cos I still couldn't verbalise my thoughts!

 

Still tis over now, I'm gonna forget all about it for the weekend, just about to tuck into a lovely takeaway meal, have a day out at a patchwork show tomorrow and a day chook and bunny cuddling on Sunday.

 

I'll let you all know Monday night what the outcome is.

 

Thanks again everyone, you are all truly lovely people. :D

I wasn't successful :(

 

I now have to wait until 23rd November until the Band 3 & 4 interviews to see if I get a job at one of those levels. I have been a Band 5 for 7 years, have always met and exceeded my objectives every year, have been given bonuses for performing above and beyond but now I'm not good enough. :(

Thanks everyone :)

 

I've been into work today, was told that I didn't have to but I didn't think there was much point putting it off. I've glad I did, all my colleagues have been so lovely, most are genuinely shocked that I didn't get a post as I'm one of the most experienced, even folk who wouldn't even usually say much more that Good Morning have expressed their disbelief, So that has made me feel a whole lot better about the process. Just have to keep my fingers crossed that I get a Band 4 now. :)
