Went to an Interview today...
This was a 2nd Interview mind got down to the last 3, I get the sneaking suspicion yet again I am going to fail at the last hurdle.
Getting on this IT bandwagon is proving a lot harder than I thought, 18 months near now I have trying to get a JOB, Interview after Interview, the same old result, down to the last few, fail at the last hurdle. the reason ? Normally because I currently do not work in the industry.
It counts for nothing I have qualifications coming out of my ears, done some temp work, and I am kinda running my own business at the moment to try and keep busy, but need a Job to get a regular Income
The fact the Interview was running late didn't help, I was also on a hiding to nothing when I also mentioned I run my own business, and I intended to run it in the background at a more low key level, if i get the JOB.
'Oh we cant have you doing that if you work for us, Conflict of interest an all that', I said well from a business point of view I understand that and as you are an ambitious and expanding company and I am after a regular wage, if it meant getting the JoB I would cease trading as I believe given the way your company is moving forward at present a carer path may present itself for me if I was to get the JOB. However I did mention their is one or two clients I would keep on, friends, family & a charity I help out (which turned out to be one of their old clients), Other clients I have I said I would refer to the company. They seemed OK with it but deep down I couldn't help but feel that this rattled their cage somewhat, how the interview continued to precede proved that.
Now i'm not being funny or anything but why oh why did they not mention this at the first Interview, when I told them about it!!! Bloody fuckin hell....
So at that point I though Shite this is not going well and it seemed they spent a lot of time whilst firing questions and scenarios's at me (which I handled pretty well in most parts), looking at the clock because they had another person to see and previous Interview over run by half an hour, putting me under even more pressure.
I will be informed by Next Tuesday at the latest if I get the JOB or not, seems mad letting people wait that long, So i'd say its probably a NO. Although I did hear them, say that to the guy who went in before me.
so back to the drawing board, I guess
I'm so depressed, this not getting a JOB malarkey is really getting me down, anyone got any pills they can recommend ? 😉
*rant over*
