I interviewed for a lesser job and got told I didn’t get it. A few days after I had a call saying they’d like me in for a chat about the job above.

I went in a little bit confused, got there had a cup of tea with the ops manager and was offered the job.

£25k pay rise and the job I’ve been working towards most of my life, couldn’t believe it.

In the past 5 years I’ve easily had 15+ interviews, the first ones were terrible looking back. Now if I have an interview I’m not nervous anymore, you just have to think I’m either going to get this or not. I used to get so worked up and nervous that it would affect the interview.

My advice would be to interview at as many places that you can/want, if you don’t get the job you’ve got that experience for next time. Also by interviewing for a similar job multiple times, you get to know all the questions they tend to ask. After a few interviews it’s easy.

I have a notebook of all the questions I didn’t know from interviews, then read these before new interviews.…
