Sorry for not posting!
Even though I am now officially unemployed, I have been super busy. Porkchop told me to focus very carefully on what I really want in the longer term - work-wise - and how I am going to achieve that. She is right. The great news is that there is freelance work out there - of course, a job is not a job until you walk into the office on the first day but there is definitely a chance of earning more (phew!).
Today is the second interview and although, at this stage, I definitely don't want the job, I still want to perform well, do myself justice and feel that I did my best. The irony is the job is potentially fantastic but the organisation is...well, let's just say it doesn't strike me as a happy, healthy place to work!
Apparently, the keys to successful interviews are the three Ps - prepare, practise and perform! I am still at the preparation stage, I'll practise on the train and then, bingo, let the performance begin!
I do feel sick with nerves but not too sick that I can't eat!!
PS sorry for not posting more pertinent comments on everyone's blogs - Peridot - just keep going. Do NOT get sidetracked by apparently small losses. Lesley - at least you are running!!!! V.good. I will catch up at the weekend. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good luck - you are in such a position of power since you know you don't actually want the job. You can interview them a bit!
love
