Default Job Interview tomorrow! *FURTHER UPDATE!*

Going for an interview tomorrow in Mirfield for a Junior Network Administrator job. I really hope I get this as I'm absolutely sick of first line support after 9 months. I'm really gratefult to my employer as they took me on and got me out of being unemployed and unable to get by, but I'm still only just covering my bills and struggling and really need to earn more money.

Plus I'm not that impressed with the place I work and they way they treat staff anymore

You can never get time off (wouldn't even let me have one day off to go to the playoff final in Cardiff ) and my team seems to get dumped on all the time. Plus it seems to take forever to get anywhere in the company which sucks.

So here's hoping. If I get the job it's deffo something I could go on to earn a fairly good living out of. I'm hoping for the best but if I don't get it I won't be too upset as it could always be worse and I could be one of the poor sods with no job at all at the end of the day....

Cheers folks Hopefully they will be ok with the hair!

I just got back after going down the agency earlier on to see the recruitment bloke for a pre interview with him. That went really well and he seemed really optimistic for me. There might only be one other person up against me for this as he thinks the guy had no luck with other agencies as he told this guy he wants to see me and the other person ASAP.

Here's hoping....

WELL!

Now I'm REALLY nervous. I think I'm right on the edge of being offered this job. Just spoke to the recruitment consultant and the guy said some positive things about me, seemed to really like me and thought I was the best candidate he's seen.

The recruitment bloke, who is a sound lad, also told me the other guy went today and the bloke at the company slated the poor lad for having no personality and said he couldn't answer any of the questions put to him.

God, I feel so weird right now as it feels like I should be in pole position but until they actually say to me I've got the job, I feel as though anything could happen so can't even think about celebrating yet.

Maybe the haircut really was a great suggestion!

Argh!! Wish me well folks!
