Interview?? It was more like an interrogation. I didn't feel at ease at all, I had 2 women interviewing me and it felt like they were playing Good cop-Bad cop. I felt incredibly thick and stupid.
However, at the end of the interview, they always ask if you have any questions for them - and I did.
I am glad I asked them now - because it made up for feeling thick during the interview - Why? Because they DID NOT know the answers - Big smile!! People like that tend to think your are thick, until you can actually speak for yourself, without being directed to giving answers to their questions. It was nice to feel in control again, and hopefully, this will work in my favour.
Saying that, I learnt a bit more about the 'Job Description' and it turns out there is alot they did not describe in the actual Job listing - so I am concerned about this:
- It seems the Job may only be temporary (Giving hints to being only 3 months long) - which is very imperfect for me, I need stability and if they can't offer me that, it would be pointless to take the Job, as I can't do anything in regards to tribunal etc until I have been working there for a year (at least) and I would have alot to sort out again.
- There are additional tasks i did not know about that may be required - but I will also not get additional pay for, which is highly unfair.
- I get the impression that they are only looking for new idea's - and once they have got them, they will get rid of you (which again, they can do because of the loophole with the year thing)
- They didn't like the fact I only had 1 reference and it was from a 'family friend'.
I think Volunteering might be better suited to me, that way I can slide back into work slowly and it will get me the references I desperately need.
We'll see though, I should hopefully hear back by the end of the week or next week, I am not confident I done too well though, I was so nervous and it showed - badly!
