Excuse my French, but when I showed up for an interview this morning (after guessing where it was because I hadn't got an invite) I was given a task that I should have been given the weekend to prepare for but they forgot to send me the email.
God knows if I'll get the job, but in that situation, JobHungryGrad suggests that you smile, remain polite and just grit your teeth. Don't worry, you're not totally worthless, it's just the interviewer is super busy and the reality is, you are at the bottom of the pile, but it's imperative that you remain professional and try not to let it panic you. Perhaps it was all intentional, perhaps this is the interviewer's way of putting you under pressure.
With one interview down, and one to go tomorrow morning that I want more than anything in the world, I'm feeling good.
I'm preparing for tomorrows interview by memorizing why they're hiring, what the job will entail and scenarios that I've undertaken that will fit the brief. I always get a little concerned when the brief is so vague. I easily fit the criteria, and presumably so do one million and one other people. So how I was chosen for interview, I'm not sure. What will mark me out as better, I don't know.
I've just got to keep trying and remind myself to live in the moment, just in case tomorrow goes tits up too.
