carolann Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You have my sympathy, Ive only had one interview in four solid months of looking - not just emailing CVs to people but going in to offices, hitting up contacts and talking to people on the phone. Â Im expecting my rejection letter for that one job any day now. Thats if they bother - lots of companies dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Well done. Remember, for your first 6 months or so, avoid using the internet for personal use. Or at home. Â Good arrows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2011 Actually, I'll have to disagree with Keith here. I think 6 months is probably not long enough in this case and I reckon closer to 12 months would do the job, just to be on the safe side. He wouldn't want to endanger his new position or anything.

Yeah I guess so. 6 months was the usual industry standard but given the double dip recession, that probably means doubling up in procedural etiquette. Thanks, Gladstone.

Paid Members Foale Posted October 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2011 30 minutes isn't necessarily short for an interview. Both my first and second interviews for the job I have now couldn't have been longer than 15 minutes, I guess it varies from role to role and company to company.

The phone one is for a bank, and the other two are just for retail jobs.  Funny, i had a phone interview for a bank last week (Barclays), I was absolutely shitting it but It went really well and i've got an actual in branch interview tomorrow. Which im actually dreading, they said i'm going to be doing some roleplay scenarios with the branch manager, really want this job but im worried im gonna freeze and be shit heh.  Basically they asked me to have a pen and calculator ready and asked some maths questions, had to get 4 out of 6 to get through, I got 5, but they were pretty simple questions, you just had to know what to put in the calculator like, :-  A customer has an overdrawn balance of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
