    I attended the interview on Friday in Glasgow. It was a throughly enjoyable interview, as the confirmation email i got for the interview selection said "probably the only interview you'll ever do where you get to play and talk about football"

    There was a meeting and general overview of Uk Elite first, then a face to face interview then you had coach a short 10-12 minute session involving the other candidates. I will find out in 2-3 weeks if i have been offered one of the contracts to work in the US next year.

    Sounds brilliant, good luck with it.

    Hi, I have applied for a summer position with this organisation and I have an interview in February with them. Has anyone gone through this interview process before? I am not sure what to expect. I have received training in coaching hurling but not football, will this suffice?

    do what makes you happy!
    I changed my job from Microsoft helpdesk to football coach when I was 28.
    Starting up my own company now in Hong Kong.

    I don't suppose there are any football coaches interested in coaching in Hong Kong are there?
    Apparently it's easy to get a work visa with an Irish passport.

    I had the interview for UK Elite in November in Glasgow, unfortunately i didnt get the position but it was a great experience, the whole interview process and the organisation that went into it. Id recommend it to anyone and i fully intend on applying again this year.
