good luck hope it all works out for you

Good luck and two pieces of advice.

1. don't have a ballistic curry the night before

2. don't stay up shagging until 4am

Trying to squeak out a silent one in an interview makes for an uncomfortable time and takes so much effort and concentration !

Also nodding off doesn't help, you know that feeling when your heads drops continually because your dead on your feet ?

I much prefer to be the interviewer these days

I've had a few interviews with recruitment agencies over the last 6 months and I'm still to find one that actually has a job to offer!

My Dad fell asleep in an interview once!


Omega0684,
Do your homework on the company, find out a bit about them, study their website etc.
Do a dry run to the office the day before or something to make sure you know how to get there ok.
Don't be late! Set off much earlier than necessary and take a book to sit and read.

Smile when you meet them and give a decent handshake.

Right down some questions in advance so you don't look dumb when they ask you if you have any.

Good Luck!!!

James

All the best but dont get your hopes up too much going to a recruiter they want to talk to you get your details and passport/licence so they have bigger books, i had 6 like this and 2 that actually had a job. Unless an interviews arranged and your going to it ive found there usually a wee take.

Good Luck

Forget that job interview, it is only an interview to see if you will be any good if the management scheme takes off.

But you have to finish that head off yet, fix the head gasket, make up a running bench, put engine together and try it out....Should be finished by Tuesday night....There are a lot of people waiting to see how the thread ends.....

See you Saturday morning bright and early....in the rain I think.......
