Interview!

[selenay]

I have a job interview on Wednesday!

I'm not sure whether I'll take the job, but it's good practise and they might be able to talk me into it. The company provides call centre 'solutions' that aren't outsources to India, which is nice, and the job would be developing and maintaining the software that they provide for clients. There would be a nice mix of database work and web application work, so stuff that I'm familiar with and lovely new things to learn as well. It's even based locally - less than 30 minutes drive on a good day.

I'm reluctant to take the first thing that I get offered (mostly because I have apps in for jobs that I'm much more enthusiastic about) but odds are that I won't have to make that tough decision. It's going to be good practise and I'm glad that the rest of my good interview shirts arrived last week with the shipping.

I've done my good worky stuff today (did some work for the Quakers as well as more job apps) so I'm going to sit back with episode 2 of this year's Atlantis and knit a neckband on my sister's cardigan.

I really need to get myself a nice monitor.

Thank you! Have you applied for that job yet?

It hasnt been advertised yet. Might take a couple of weeks before the ad goes out. But yeah, I'm totally gonna do it.

Good luck! If it's what you want :o)

Thank you! The worst that can happen is that I don't like the sound of the job. And obviously there's all kinds of possibilities between that and best case scenario :-)

Yay for the interview! Even if it's not quite what you want. Any interview is good practise - that's actually how I got my current job! I was very unsure about the work arrangements (2-person company, based out of their home), but I decided that the interview would be good practise. I've been here 4 weeks now.

I need to get back into the interview frame of mind - it's been a couple of years since I last did this. The recruiter made it sound like a good company to work for and their website certainly sounds like they value the staff. The real question is what kind of work I'd be doing and whether it's something that I really, really want to do.

Oh, and whether the compensation is good enough!
