Why does it ring alarm bells? I think they mean it as a compliment but it feels wierd.

Re: Scared for interview tomorrow and lonely
Hi @Redemption
Just wanted to say it is perfectly understandable and okay to feel nervous for an interview. The pressure of having to present ourselves in the best way we can, can be daunting for even the most confident of people from time to time. It shows how much you care about the opportunity and desire to succeed. Sometimes a little bit of nervousness can be a good things in situations like this.
It sounds like you’ve been putting in the effort to practice potential questions that they may ask, which is definitely a good thing to be doing. I think what’s important to remember when you do the interview is that it is okay to take a second or two to think about your response to questions, and that not every response to every question has to be ‘perfect’. It is ultimately about showing your skills and what kind of person you are. So take it one question at a time, and I’m sure you’ll smash it. We are all routing for you to do well tomorrow. And whatever the outcome is, you gave it your best shot and that is all anyone can ask for 😊
Thank you so much Sinead, amazing as always ❤️

I'm assuming it was yesterday that you would've gone - but hopefully it was enjoyable for you and something that you can benefit from attending 
Re: Morning
@eylah We hav regularly visit frm emergency services by other tenants who OD n addiction problems bc it's a atmosphere tht ppl can't cope. The last place the manager was at a meds was missed n it shut down b4 tht he was a prison officer. Wen I leave the cqc r gna b involved. Most tenants now r young girls n we hav a wheelchair user which the building is not equipped
Re: Morning
@eylah I heard frm a whistle-blower tht the manager is launching investigations, tht got me scared. I showed them some ketchup by a scratch n they sed they would make a fuss. Incident reports n they would make it big but it's their fought I'm sad. I went there to b happy n the manager sed originally tht he want us happy. This place is failing and I'm moving to a different care company tht my advocate found. I get to interview ppl. If I see carers currently I'll say no immediately, am I allowed to do tht as a interviewer?
