Sep. 5th, 2016 08:01 pmInterview went alright, also. It was a little weird. I was being interviewed by the CEOs and founders of the company, in the building where I would be working, but I wasn't going to work for the company in that building, I would be working for a company that provides various services for other businesses, including reception work. But it went okay. I looked alright, although my feet were killing me - I have two separate blisters on my little toe. I'm never wearing those shoes again. But anyway, I made it there. They just didn't really ask me any questions, or not interview-type questions at any rate. Because they're such a customer-focused business, and it's all about giving them a good service, all they really did was ask a bit about my work history - and my depression came up, because it's hard to explain a five-year gap in your job history, but they were fine about it and said it didn't put them off - and then they just basically explained my (minimal) duties, greeting people, handing out temporary passes, keeping an eye on the car park, and asked me 'would you be alright with that?'. I said yes to everything, tried to provide examples of when I'd done similar things in the past. I felt like I was floundering a little with a couple of answers, purely because I got a little tongue-tied, but I wouldn't say it went badly at all. To be honest, the way the interview went, I think I'm more likely to lose out to someone else who lives in Leeds, where the company's based, than anything, because someone like that could provide cover at a moment's notice, whereas I'd have to get a train. But we'll see. They said they'd seen a lot of people today, but that they'd let me know one way or another by the 'end of play' tomorrow. So. It's experience in odd interviews, at least.
