There was going to be a post about the truth about fanfiction and all the random stuff I seem to have acquired over the past few days, but mostly my agency offered me the chance at a permanent job on Friday, and then today called and told me they wanted to see me for an interview. Tomorrow. I got the time off work and they told me they would send me the interview slip and all the details of the job so I could check out the website and do some research. They have sent me NOTHING. I went through the rather embarrasing ordeal of giving them my personal email address because the one on my CV had probably gone inactive, and they DIDN'T SEND ME ANYTHING. Like WHERE THE COMPANY WAS. Or what they do, mostly. And I'm trying to google it, and it's proving VERY DIFFICULT. I think I know where it is and what bus I can get there. But WHAT THEY DO THERE, NOT SO MUCH. Well, it's about computer parts distribution. Other than that, I mostly know that it exists.
It's rubbish. I clearly won't get it. A lot of the stuff the agency described to me about it sounds like stuff I have done before. Even so. Did I mention that I've never actually had a job interview before? Except for ones on a sofa in a bar or the sales floor of Boots. And nothing much came of them. The only successful one I ever had was one with Leeds University, which was apparently mostly a formality. So I have to research interview technique. And this company that is impossible to find. My plan for tomorrow is to put on a clean sweater. Maybe call my agency and screech and do some very quick research at lunchtime in the job I'm currently working at. That's pretty much the extent of it. Where do I see myself in five years' time? I DON'T KNOW.
