EeeeeeK!

I have a job interview tomorrow! with Shropshire County Council, Childrens Centre Services for a Creche Leader. Am already working for SCC as a Creche Leader, but the difference is I am employed on sessional basis whereas this role is a contracted 35 hours a week for 51 weeks of the year and at £300 a week is fantastic money for someone working in Early Years.

Now am hopeing that doing this work already stands me in good stead, as it means that I won't need an induction or training, which will free up already stretched resources, and that my Creche Manager who I get on with like a house on fire will be on the interviewing panel. But I do know that there are 5 other candidates, so it really does depend on who I am up against and how good I can sell myself
( always been modest about my abilities, wouldn't of dreampt about applying for this if my Manager hadn't of said I should apply, but gonna have to try and overcome the confidence crisis )

Have been trying to block this out all day, now after a vodkie or several it's dawned on me that my interview is fast approaching. Been out today and bought new trousers, shoes and stuff even though I already own lots of trousers, shoes and stuff, but hey! appearance is something that will be noted whether they know me or not!

But then whatever the outcome the experience won't be wasted because I can ask for feedback and know how to improve for next time.

Still pretty daunting though not sure whether it's going to be a good thing being interviewed by someone I know well, as I know I can't be how I usually am with her!

Eeeek! and the other thing! what happens if I do actually get the flippin' job!

Mmm bedtime me thinks, or i'll be here all night pondering and over analyzing

You won't want to try this advice then...

Good luck with the interview, sure you'll do yourself justice sounds like you are conscientious & committed to your work, so that should come across no problem

in case you have time to read this, remember an interview should be an opportunity for YOU to find out about the role on offer, and make sure its right for you too. Find out the ethos of the company, the people you will be working with etc.

I have had a whisper who some of the other candidates are:
- Gary Glitter
- Fred West
- Joe Fritzl

Only versus 2 now

(dont worry....if your present boss is interviewing you, its in the bag)

Roman Polanski? ...he'd be arrested upon entering the country though so, yeah its in the bag.


Good luck!

Public authorities are obliged to be seen to be interviewing a selection of candidates even if they already know who they want to give the job to (i.e. you).

Don't worry, it's all a sham

[tiggerai]

Good luck hunny! You'll be fine!!

(and we can't ever have too many trousers, shoes and stuff - apart from when you've already filled a double Ikea wardrobe.... A good clearout is in order this weekend I think.)
