Good News....................

For what its worth:
Read the Job description, be ready to explain why you meet its requirements, also if you can illustrate why with examples of your previouse experiance so much the better.

Read your own CV, be prepared to justify claims you have made in it.

Google "difficult interview questions" it doesn't hurt to have thought about them (like the classic "so what do you think your weaknesses are")

Think about your questions for them, they will probably give you the opportunity to ask, but if they have covered all you would have asked its OK to say so.

Have some example of constructive things you have achived in life and during your period of unemployment.

Get some practice if you can (maybe you have already)

Best of luck, came close to being out the door myself last year, can only try to imagine the problems of getting back in.

Thanks, I really do appreciate all the advice everyone has given, it has made me think and prepare for things that maybe i had not thought about.

The interview went brilliantly, all the preperation was worth it, I ended up being interviewed for a higher position in the end, but may have to go to Godalming soon to have a second interview with the MD, but as for the job i went for it really did go well, I will hopefully know more tomorrow, and will of course keep you all updated.

Anyone looking for a job, take the NSC advice, it does help!

Thanks all, and my fingers and just about everything else are crossed

It did thanks, sorry but i had no time earlier to explain myself very well.

Basically I went there to be interviewed for one job, after about 10 minutes the guy interviewing said are you aware we are after a senior manager, i said yes but I had missed the application date, he then said the person they had offered it to had let them down and he was looking again and would i beinterested, I said yes.

My interview which should have lasted about 30 mins or so then went on for a total of 1 hour 30 minutes and he said his MD would want a chat and he is based in Godalming, I straight away offered to go down there save him coming to wales and meet him, his exact words were.... "Wow...really" I said yes of course, to which he said he would be in touch with me tomorrow regarding it.

A lot more was said but to much to type, basics are, it went very well and i am extremely hopefull i will get something out of it.......let me re-phrase that....I'm praying i get something out of it

 

[Simster]

Looks like you're down to the last 2 or 3 at worst there, hitony. Best of luck with it tomorrow.

Take a picture of your avatar, along with some 'suggestions' as to how they could be used for Corporate 'entertainment' and I'm sure the job is yours!!

Seriously mate, I really hope you get something sorted. I like to think that our chance meeting in the toilets at Elland Road had a big bearing on your life over the past couple of years!!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Sounds really promising Tony, where is the firm based then if the MD is in Godalming? Could this mean a possible move back home?

 

[portslade seagull]

Hope you get the Post Hitony
