I had a job interview this morning and afterwards decided to call at a farm shop on the way home for some cake.
I applied for another job with the Wildlife Trust a couple of weeks ago after someone left at the end of last year but then it turned out they had three jobs available, not one, and one of them was Forest School Officer (that's the job I had for 7 months last year) as they've been given an extra lump of funding, enough to employ just one FSO until the end of August!
Although I'd applied for only one job, the interview covered all three posts as I was able to be considered for all of them.
I'm not good at interviews. I'm not much of a talker at any time and in interviews, I find my mind goes blank and I struggle to answer questions, then everything I should have said comes to mind as I drive away afterwards!
Today's interview wasn't horrendous. It could have gone better, it could have been worse. No feeling as to whether I'll get a job or not, but I do expect other people will have answered better! I should hear on Thursday so fingers crossed.
Hoping it's good news! We used to be considered for our suitability to a job but now it's all if you say the right words and boost yourself up, which for some of us is very hard to do. Crossing fingers for you 🤞
Thanks for your comments. It was maple and pecan slice for those who commented on the cake - and I'd bitten a corner off before I took the photo!!
Lovely to see you back here @rachelwithey ! I will follow you again :)
I have been offered one of the jobs! Another short term contract but the timing is good for me. Downside is it is full time, plus side, full time income will be very nice! It's only short term as I said, so I'll just have to suck up working more hours than I'm used to for a while! Looks like 2020 is going to be a busy year!
