Well, after the not very successful interviews I had one week in January I've heard nothing from anyone for ages... and then this week I've been invited to two more interviews :yippe: (seeing a pattern emerging here :chin: )
Anyways... One I've got on saturday I'm not fussed about cos I think it'll be straight-forward.
But I'm having one on Thursday... and it's a group interview and I have no idea how they work and what to expect etc.
Anyone who's been to one, can you give me some advice and tips, or just general info on how they work please?
Cheers.

:yes: I agree that's true to an extent. I've been to a few group interviews and for most it just seemed like they had us all their the same day to get a bunch of tests done in one fell swoop. It was mainly a series of written tests on different areas of the job. For others it might be more about seeing how you relate to others as icey mentions.
Here's our section on group interviews from this article:
But what about the actual questions bit? Do you have to take it in turns, and if someone says what you were about to say tough shit? Or do they do that bit seperatly or what... Surely the don't miss that out completly?
And thanks Pink_Angel for the good luck wishes... I really hope I get one of these jobs cos then I can cancel my appointment at the jobcenter on Monday
Went OK. Gut feeling is I haven't got it. But really baffled cos during the interview we (me and the other applicants) found out that 90 people had applied and that they were holding two sets of interviews... ours being one of them. There was suposed to be 6 of us... but two didn't show and one signed in but mysteriously disappeared :chin:
So basically... somehow I've managed to get to the last 12 (actually 9 given the no-shows) and I have absolutly no idea how!!!
Well it was like you said Helen. Writen questions mostly.
Was really cruel actually cos I got to know the other two quite well and they seemed really nice. The guy reminded me a lot of a mate of mine.
Well if I was successful today I'll be called for another interview (Does it nneeever end!)
Anyways. I have now successfully got myself a bit pissed, so shall forget all about it for now... Until Saturday when I have another interview for a different place.
