Advice regarding an Interview

    Hello Board Members, I would appreciate any advice.

    I am lucky as I have got called for an interview next week.
    The last few years have been very difficult with the recession. I had a great job but the company closed down so the last five years have been so difficult trying to get work and manage financially. I am (like so many others highly qualified and many years of experience). Anyhow, I have kept fighting and surviving and have gone from contract to contract.

    When I applied for this role that I have an interview with I was working in another company. The contract was due to expire in January 2013. I absolutely Hated the role. I was not getting a lot of experience but the main issue was the 2 people running the company there was only 9 of us. When I joined I put my heart and soul into the job and worked crazy hours as this is my style. I was so desperate for the job I was only unemployed 2 weeks and grabbed this job. But I was extremely let down by the position and in particular the 2 bullies running the organisation. The accountant handed in his notice and left and he had no job to go too. In my own role the company have had 5 people in less than 2 years and now I am gone as well. I handed in my notice and finished last week. However, in the interim of applying for the role I am going for the job interview next week I was offered another role but then found out the funding had fallen through.

    What do I say at interview? I told my former employer (with the 2 bullies) that I had another role to go to which was back home - which was true but fell through. I managed to finish on good terms with them.

    Thank you.
