    I applied to work in the alumni call centre this June in Trinity. I've been called for interview, howver, it is a Group Interview. I'm shockingly nervous about the whole affair. Did anyone do it last year, what should I be expecting?

    They are going to interrogate you like the CIA and connect car jump leads to your eyelids.

    Have you any idea at all how many will be on the panel and from where they are drawn?

    What day is yours, OP? Mine is on the 25th at 11, I think.

    I imagine they'll just try to see how we interact to make sure none of us are domineering fúcks.

    Probably a good choice. What group were you in, if you don't mind me asking? My group consisted of a bloke who was into fashion design (I think he's running for GSU), a rugby guy, a quiet English girl, and two generic law students. They're just the ones I remember.

    I think I was in that group, except there was only one generic law student there

    If it was the same group, I was the really disinterested guy who, instead of genuinely trying to sell myself, felt the need to tell a story about a deer running around Chapelizod. I really, really didn't want that job.

    You don't do law by any chance, do you?
