Shiny Shoes

Yikes! My interview is tomorrow!

I’ve been reading up on the company, making sure my suit still fits (not worn it for a while – and it’s now a little tight!) and I’ve spoken to the agency guy about what’s happening. I just need to give my shoes a bit of a spit-n-polish.

All I’ve got to do is remain calm and positive and treat it like just another design meeting. Still, it doesn’t help that I’ve learnt that there’s only one other candidate whilst ten other people didn’t even get as far as the interview! Oh, and there’s more tests to come (how wrong I was about no more tests!)

Next up are some test scenarios in a number of programming languages to see what I’d do next. Hopefully, it is just to test my analytical skills, but the worse part of it all is that the HR manager will also be in the interview and asking questions such as "What's your favourite colour?" and "Can you please pee into this cup".

She'll also be on the look out for any sign of weaknesses - such as beads of sweat on my brow or the evidence of facial tics. I just wonder whether they’ll be holding the interview in Room 101. Ah, there's nothing like putting my mind at rest!

Still, it’s got to be there for the taking and it’s all or nothing. I just hope it’s one and not the other...
