Calamity Jane Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have a job interview today. It is only for temporary Christmas staff, but i am SO nervous. I havent had an interview about ANYTHING for so so so many years. I dont have much self esteem at the moment, and have been shutting myself away a bit. On Sunday OH and I went to local garden centre and they were advertising for staff. I applied impulsively, thinking that it would do me good to get out of the house more, and give me a confidence boost............. but now I have this interview eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!

pips_pekins Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 That's great! Well done. Let us know how you get on. Just take a deep breath, make eye contact and be yourself. The fact that you already visit the centre as a customer will help you answer any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well - I'm back. It wasn't too bad, very informal. Feel a bit silly now for getting so nervous. It is only for 6-8hrs as a Christmas temp! Mind you they had over 150 applicants - crazy. I'll let you know how I get on. ps I have just bid on an Eglu Cube on ebay !!!!!!!!!!!

Seagazer Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Good luck - I think Christmas temporary jobs are quite a good way of easing you back in the workforce. I did it a few years ago, I really enjoyed it. Ooh I see I was too late to wish you luck for your interview - I wish you luck in getting the job now.

Willow Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hope you get it but if you don't you mustn't think it's a reflection on you - with so many applicants they can't take everyone they think would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thankyou everyone for your encouragement. I had a phone call yesterday from the garden centre to say they wont be taking it further this time but could they keep my records on file in case something comes up in the new year. I am happy with that, it has been a good experience for me. If nothing else it got me out of the house for the morning !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well, that sounds pretty positive, shame it didn't work out this time, but sounds like they might want to consider you for something in the Spring when they get really busy. Well done for giving it a go!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
