Posted by: cyberevolution in General, tags: Back 2 Skool, General, Karma, Technobabble, when I grow up I want to be...In order to improve chances on Wednesday evening (Thursday morning NZ), I am continuing to do homework. Not just the technical side - although that would encompass the majority; given this is a phone interview across a large distance I appreciate they will want to build as close a picture of my character as possible, this will likley be done through a certain level of behavioral questions - which they have kindly forewarned me will happen.
Whilst it’s difficult to be right or wrong in these types of situations it has allowed me the opportunity to sit down, and gather some examples of different situations in the past of certain skills - for example: working towards a goal, or under pressure. In fact I recommend anyone going for an interview to give this a go, because if nothing else it will give you plenty of relevant things to talk about in order to qualify your application, plus it’ll add confidence to your approach!
In my opinion a large proportion of failures and nerves in an interview is through lack of preparation, and in some cases people simply not knowing “why” they are there! I’m lucky I have a circle of friends and colleagues who push me in the right direction mentally all the time :) (maybe they just want rid of me???? He said in a paranoid tone!)…
Nuff said, anyways - I “could” stay up all night as I am really that fired up about all this now, but that wouldn’t do my clients any good in work tomorrow, so I’m off to get some sleep.

Hi Bro
I am sure all will be fine, just relax and don’t have too many expectations, they need to know your hunger and desire for the job what will be will be, if its meant to be then it is meant to be.
good luck with the interview and be yourself
bring yourself and be yourself!! well you cant bring yourself if it is a telephone interview but you certainly can be yourself.. cal, clear strong confident voice…….

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
I’ve only ever had 3 job interviews (and I won this job on the last one… obviously). I’m not sure how I’d do in a job interview now!
I sure will, I must admit silly though it may sound, I am getting increasingly nervous; and I really have no reason to be.
Oops….got my days mixed up for the interview, it was Wednesday NZ time not UK time
- Silly me! Thankfully though I was still able to take the call, and now I am waiting to see whether it’s time t pack those cases?
*Fingers crossed!* How long will you have from the day they say “Yes” to the day you have to be there?
Provided all the Immigration paperwork goes through, and the doctors confirm I’m not riddled with germs I could be settling into my new home in NZ by the end of September this year, so a couple of months time really!
Oh and Rach? thanks for the pep talk
I know you posted three times, but my blog caught it for ya
