Keeping Those Toes Crossed

Well, the recruitment agency rang me back today – and with good news too! The guy at the company was extremely impressed (his words, not mine) with both my CV and on-line results and I’m currently way out in front of the other prospective candidates. As a result, I’ve been asked in for an interview next week. In fact, the guy wanted to see me ASAP in order to give me a tour of the office and explain more about what they do.

I’ve always hated tests, but I feel that the technical part of things has now been dealt with and this interview will be more of a personality test. Still, there’s absolutely no way I’m going to be complacent here – nor even start to believe that this one is in the bag. Never the less, the vibes do feel good this time, and I’m going to try and use the many valuable lessons learnt from previous interviews to good effect.

Even if I fail to get the job it’s still been a real confidence boost and helped replenish my glass somewhat. With the lack of success with my job hunting and attempts on Match.com over the past six months I’ve been really struggling to stay positive. With this, and along with additional stresses at both work and home, it’s fair to say that my health has been suffering somewhat too. This is just the tonic I need.

Anyway, thanks for all your good luck wishes (they honestly really do help) and I’ll let you know how I get on next week. In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll have something to rant about over the weekend.
