Job Interviews

Something I have been doing a lot lately is applying for jobs! I must have applied for about 50 in the last few weeks and the wait to hear back is killing me! I applied for a job a month ago, got an interview and then never heard anything back off the company so I’m guessing that the interview was a big fail. That’s okay though because I learnt a bit more about how to go through an interview (I’ve only ever had two). Then last week I heard back from a job I applied for at University. They gave me an interview which I had on Monday and I am waiting to hear back from them today! This interview went a lot better than the previous one because of the things that I had learnt! This time round I wore something I felt a lot more comfortable in which helped me to relax a lot. I also tried not to think about the interview too much beforehand so that I would not get myself worked up about it as this would mean for sure that it would go badly. (A small amount of nerves is good but too many can make it go wrong). I also tried to plan the questions I thought they might ask me so that I had some idea of some answers before I got there. Someone I know had an interview for a similar job role so I used their experiences to my advantage, and considering that they got the job from that interview I think it was a good call on my behalf to get them to help me! Finally, if you are not feeling confident, just pretend that you are! Eventually you will realise that you are not pretending anymore and that your nerves have (almost) disappeared!

Hopefully I will hear back from these soon as the waiting is killing me right now. I want to know whether I was successful or not so I can try to plan what I am going to do with the summer (aside from apply for every job going). I will update again as soon as I find out. Here’s to hoping that it’s going to be good news!
