Interview went well IMHO.

Have to wait until the end of the week to find out exactely how well it went.

They loved asking questions like "What support structure would you recommend?" I don't know because I don't know the environment, the people, the funding etc..... Seemed to understand and I think was asking the question just to screw with the interviewees.

Anyway, have to see how it goes. Problem with moving to the country is the number of jobs to apply for reduces greatly.

Three against one, interviews are bad, panel interviews are worse.

Ever tried a phone interview  8)

All I imagine is them sitting back making the 'crazy' signs with their hands and having a good old laugh.  Once I thought they had all left.

I love phone interviews. It's why I'm where I am now. You can fully prepare, have all the info you mite need at hand, and create a whole new persona if you need be.

when they phone bak and ask for a face to face, you know they're serious.

If they want you, you will hear from them 2moz.

Good luck.

Many years ago I went for a job interview, with the police.  They were looking for "black-trackers".
I went to see them, and this was back in the bad old days, and they denied me because firstly I did not have enough formal education, and secondly because I did not want to stay in town.
I have no idea what either of those factors had to do with tracking, as people do not leave notes every where when they gt lost, and if you want to locate most people in and around towns like Halls Creek, sit outside the pub for a couple of hours, you'll find them.  They ended up employing someone who never succeeded once in tracking anyone,he was from town and did not have desert skills.

If it is for the Govt, don't hold your breath. It was 3 months from my interview till I was asked if I would like to take up the offer. I had given up all hope by then.
Hope it is better for you.

It is tempting to explain just what you have to do to get approval for an appointment, but you probably wouldn't believe me.

I can well imagine.

This isn't actually a govt job, just born from govt so very similar interview process. Panel of three with one being an independant, give you the questions that will be asked 10 mins before interview starts, etc...

They say they want a quick decision and start and all approvals are in place. Hope this works in my favour as I am available immediately.

I generally dont do well at interviews,
I find it hard to 'sell myself'.

I cant bloat or say how great I am, I dont enjoy listening to people say how great they are, rather, let them show me, then I'll make my own decision. I guess I'm pretty modest and quietly spoken, but that doesnt sell during interviews.

I've missed out on plenty of great jobs as I am not one to rub my own shaft and yet worse, kiss someone else butt to show how good I might be.

Selling yourself is a tough one. Alot of people talk alot of crap and unfortunately, alot of the time, those that bullsh1t the most, go further.

Good luck with the interview.

I've just been accepted for a new position, casual at the moment, but hope the hours pick up shortly afterwards, got the opportunity through a reccomendation from a work colleague to another person in a similar trade. I would never have got anywhere relying on myself to 'sell myself'.

Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....
