Interview tomorrow

in Work & Study
I have a job interview tomorrow, and I made it to the next stage after a telephone interview. Honestly, I’m feeling a bit anxious because the location is big, and I’m scared about not finding it. It might sound stupid, but I was even a bit hesitant for a minute, even though I’ve been venting a lot here about how much this whole situation has been getting me down. It just sounds so fucking stupid that I was even just a bit hesitant, even though I do really want to get into work. The hesitation feels silly, but it’s mainly the location that’s stressing me out. I’ll be taking a tram since it’s easier to access, and if I get the job, I’d be able to drive with free parking. The interview came up on short notice, but I’m hopeful I’ll manage to find the place. If I don’t get the job, I’ll keep applying and looking for support to find something else suitable soon.

    Hey @TheNightmare Good luck, im crossing both my fingers and toes for you right now <3. To get to this stage is absolutely fantastic and amazing <3. Im super proud of you. Your acing it. Yeah I find having those interviews can be quite daunting and scary as I got to do a video interview online for an apprenticeship I applied for so I totally get the feeling. Deep breaths because you got this <3.

    @TheNightmare how did it go? i hope it went well for you🤍

    i know it must have been really frustrating to be late, however, it wasn't your fault that the bus was late, that sorta situation is out of your control!

    Thank you @Azziman I was unfortunately late which I mentioned above but they seemed OK sbout it, I was just super nervous too, hopefully whatever the outcome is I get sorted really soon though. Thanks again for the check up.

    Interview nerves are terrible @TheNightmare! I always feel extra clumsy with the nerves before and during interviews. How do you feel it went? We are super proud of you for giving this a go, despite the outcome (though we are also wishing you the best possible outcome) <3

    How are you feeling about that @TheNightmare? It sounds disappointing that you didn't get it but we believe in you and your next steps. What do you think your next steps might be? We hope you are giving yourself grace in feeling what you need to feel at the moment!

    Hey @Laura_tigger82 , I really appreciate the check up. I think my next steps are get interview support like maybe practicing them, applying to jobs. There's potentially a course coming up that could lead to a job, but it's not for a few months yet. Thanks so much anyway

    Thinking of you @TheNightmare . I can imagine it might feel dissapointing to hear the news about the interview. You have been working so hard and really want for things to change now <3 I wonder if the interviewers were able to provide any helpful feedback?

    We're all here for you and I agree with Laura, hoping you can let yourself feel whatever comes up for you. It sounds like you're already clear on what you'd like your next steps to be, which is fantastic. How have you been able to rest or decompress in between the job-hunting activities?

    @Sian321 hey, really appreciate the kind words as always. I got feedback that I need more detailed answers and the role might be a bit fast paced for me.

    I do sometimes do stuff outside my job hunting activities. Thanks so much for this reply means a lot and thanks for running the Friday chat thread too, it was great and you ran it well.
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,423 Part of The Furniture
    Well done for recognising your next steps @TheNightmare. That's really huge, even if it is months away!

    What are you enjoying outside of your job hunting activities at the moment - what is helping you to unwind? Also, how are you feeling about the feedback? :)

    Hey @Laura_tigger82 thanks for your responses. I think going out in general can help unwind a bit, depending where though. Im feeling disappointed by the feedback but on the positive side if I have not got it then it might not be suitable anyway.
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,423 Part of The Furniture
    I hear you @TheNightmare! The conflict with growth feedback could provide but also it might just not be suitable. It sounds like the lack of growth opportunity could still be disappointing as feedback could help more widely than this particular opportunity. Are you able to ask them for a follow-up conversation / more detailed feedback?

    @Laura_tigger82 Thanks for this response again, I feel like I got enough feedback and a few weeks ago so probably just going to move on to the next thing now. Hope that's OK.
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,423 Part of The Furniture
    Of course that's okay @TheNightmare. The most important thing is that you feel able to take the steps forward that you want to take and feel supported along the way. Just out of interest, what does the next thing look like and how are you feeling about it?

    @Laura_tigger82 I have a work placement in may potentially and went to a careers fair on Thursday where they told me a few options, I tried to apply to a job it said they were no vacancies but some might come up in the near future. It was a bit annoying tbh going to a careers fair and hearing jobs available just to come back and it says no vacancies. I have other options though nothing garanteed but I'm sure something will work out at some point. Thanks so much. Great to see you round.
