its not until next Friday, but my first interview in 2 years. I'm not holding my breath to be honest.

I'm hoping that this is the start of many good news'es - at least someone has shown a partial interest and it's only taken 3months of applications.

Still, the job description sounds fantastic and its pretty much exactly the role I wanted to do when I came out of Uni so going to prepare fully for it!

I'm sure a lot of applicants are in the same boat, though. You've spent three years getting your degree, and now the job-hunting begins!

at least with this one I know there are only 3 or 4 potential's so I'm in with a decent chance!

Still, you know me, I can talk the hind legs off donkeys at 20 paces so we shall see. I've everything crossed at the moment mind!

edit:: has the new little-un arrived yet?

Whatever you do, if you're asked a question that you don't understand, ask THEM to be more specific.
I had an interview about 100 years ago for a programming job (I think they're called software engineers now) where the guy asked me what I thought about Michael Jackson's techniques. Now, unbeknownst to me, we had only been doing monolith coding and there was this chap, MJ, who was a pioneer in structured coding. I thought - "What a strange question, perhaps they're trying to soften the atmosphere and get me talking about non-work issues". So off I went, talking about how much I appreciated the full, bass sound that his recordings contained and that I thought he stood head-and-shoulders above his brothers. Well, the look on the faces of the interview panel was a picture. The interview was drawn quickly to a close and I was bid farewell. Not surprisingly, the refusal was in my 'snail mail' box by start-of-business the next day.

Good Luck !

Stefan, good luck.
The best advice I can give is relax (easy to say, I know) and be yourself.
Sounds obvious really but it's easy to get too nervous.

And good luck Jagsy, let me know how it goes.

Ooo, I missed that one.

Good luck fella! I'm guessing it's a telephone interview?

Good luck Stefan, sell yourself big style. I haven't interviewed for some time and its definately an art.

hmm, the pressure has just been put on.

I need to get a job by the end of the month or I can't insure my car. Not good!

Well thats it finished. Unsurprisingly I was desperatly nervous and even developed a stammer . Still, the owner/interviewer's were nice people and seemed interested.

Find out later today or on Monday! Here's hoping - it's an ideal job for me

are you physic or something? I was just coming on to PH to update the post

I haven't heard from the company yet, but through the goverment agency I know I'm through to the second round. I don't know when that is, and I don't know what it involves, but boy am I excited!
