Jays no hassle, after nearly twenty years in the working world, if I can help anyone out I will. Don't be afraid to ping me if you are going for an interview, I've interviewed hundreds of people over the years, and reviewed literally thousands of c.vs so take advantage by all means!

Even did it for my OHs son last year

Well thanks all the same

I'll rememeber that for future reference, i'd go look for a job now, but as stupid and slacky as it sounds, I actually don't have the time, I'm in college from 7:30 in the morning till 9:30 at night, other people can't understand why my course has so many hours, it's nuts, but it'l be worth it in the end

Edit, just seen you already did the interview. Never mind the above, its probably the Calpol talking,

Made a big difference what you said Colm, I was just myself.

Like you said people hire people, and as a candidate I ask myself if I can work with these people.

Today I just felt like I'd enjoy working with them.

Sounds cliche but just be yourself. They're gonna hire the person you are in the interview, if you're not yourself in the interview and get the job, it puts an awful lot of pressure on you to maintain the facade.

I had the final interview today and was myself, and do you know, it made a massive difference in my opinion to how it went. I think it went really well, got the impression I was fitting the bill etc. We'd a few humorous moments in the interview and it just felt like it went well.

There were three people shortlisted so I've a one in three chance, I was the last interviewed.

If I get a call telling me I've gotten the job it will take me a week to come down from the high

To get away from the student squabbling, I had a final interview today for a job I'm fierce keen on, so any good thoughts to influence the interviewers would be appreciated.

Might mean I'd be on the hunt for a new car, and we all know how much fun it is trying to change diehard minds when they want a new car

My old boss used to say "people buy people"
