Big job interview today, biggest of my career in fact. I'm pretty nervous! It's at 11:00am (UK). I'll post back here to let y'all know exactly how I managed to f*** it up! :)

So fingers/toes/eyes/legs/tentacles all crossed for me in about 3.5 hours!

Good luck with the interview. Be honest and confident, you've already beat about 50% of applicants.

Actually, it went pretty well, I reckon! I should know by the end of the week if I'm getting a second interview or not. Watch this space!

Thanks for all the support guys and gals :D

whats the job?

Security Assurance for a "Big 4" auditing firm. This company turned over £21 BILLION dollars last year. Would be nice to work for an industry leader and it would look pretty good on my CV too :D

Price Waterhouse?
Deloitte?
Kpmg?
Ernst & young?

I have to say, I hope you are dedicated. I got offered a job at PwC on a hell of a lot more than what I was on, but knowing people who work for the big 4, kinda put me off as im not really a work a holic :)

Good luck though dude, as you say, its great for your CV and im sure the remuneration will be top drawer

My old firm got audits from Price Waterhouse and the girl was about the best looking girl i have seen in real life. She was dedicated to her job though as she did not want to come from a drink with me at lunch time. Only reason i could see her saying no!

It is one of them, it's only a junior role (sort of) so the money isn't staggering, but it's better than I'm on now. The work sounds pretty interesting and the manager seems pretty serious about his team having a decent work/life balance. I'm happy to give it a try if it gets my career out of it's current shitty rut!

Nightmare! They've decided they need someone with more experience in the specific area of the role and have decided to re-advertise it as a senior position and start the interviewing from scratch!

So I was right with my vote of "no" in the poll! I shall keep looking! :D

Absolutely magnificently stomach achingly funny :D

Not that you didn't get it, but because i applied for a level designer job a few years back and they too changed it to "senior level designer" as they couldnt' find anyone with 10+ years of experience.

I look too good in my suit to let it put me off! Don't want to deprive the women of Leeds of the chance to see me strutting my stuff on the way to another dead-end interview!
