Good luck honey. Do your research of the company and get there 15 minutes early and do some breathing exercises to help your nerves.

thanks guys :D
got the 2nd interview - this friday morning at 11am. :-D have got all this interview prep stuff but am still really nervous about it. it's with two people and me - eek. it's been 5 1/2 years since i've had a proper interview (i started work when i was 15) so i really can't remember what to expect. guess its just take it as it comes though right? *nervous laughing*

take care all,

got my second job interview tomorow morning at 11am!!! am so nervous it's unbelievable. i've done all my interview prep and everything, sorting out what questions they are likely to ask and what my replys will be. think i've just about got the answers as they'd like them. but i'm never going to remember them in the actual interview! i've never been this nervous before, i almost feel sick. the one thing they mark you on is confidence and i know i have none of that and it's so going to show and they'll say no to me because i don't have any confidence in what i'm saying at all.

if anyone has any advice right now i would be so grateful cos i'm a shaking wreck and really have no idea how i'm going to walk in there tomorow!

had my interview. went pretty shocking to tell the truth. i remembered everything up until the point i walked in the room. then my mind went totally blank. i think i blagged my way through most of it. was very awkward and wouldn't be suprised if i didn't get it. i'd be dissapointed but not surprised.

thinking of it, why would anyone want to employ me anyways. never mind.

Aw honey, I'm sure you did alright!!!!

Before i got my job here i was selling shoes....When asked by my now current boss what i liked about my previous job i said "the discount on pretty shoes" :P Anyways, i got the job here, it just depends on the interviers.

Let us know when you get some feedback. Fingers crossed!

just had a phone call from employment agency. didn't get the job. i'm not too surprised to be honest. i'm now applying for benefits and stuff to get me through till i can get a job. might see if i can work for tesco's. ah well. guess it all counts towards experience in the end.

thanks for all the support guys :) it has helped.

It is experience. Perhaps you can go over what happened and figure out what you'd like to do better next time?
