Interview Next Wednesday

Please send good thoughts (and those who pray, please do) my way next wednesday when I interview for a customer service job at a bank.  I desperately need a change from my present job where I am on my feet all day, often don't get a break, and am underpaid. 

I just successfully completed the initial telephone interview, and I have to smile: I passed the math section with flying colours.   

I have plenty of customer service and working to sales targets experience and, due to managerial experience, I have a good deal of money-handling experience, as well.   I would be able to use my customer service skills and SIT DOWN while doing it.  I would make more money and be able to go visit my kids (something I and my kids need desperately).

Soooo.....

Thanks in advance for all the fingers crossed, the prayers, and the good thoughts.

Fingers crossed for you! Best of luck!

good luck!

I have everything crossed fot you!!!!

Wishing you the best..........

Wishing you all the best as you go for the interview

Fingers and toes crossed for you!!  Good luck!

do you have your outfit picked out?

wishing you the best interview outfit & interview possible. 

Thanks, Everyone.  I'll keep you posted.

As far as the outfit goes...if I needed one, I have the perfect one.  However, it's another telephone interview, but this time they call me.  I think this is quite common with banks here - all the telephone interviewing, that is.  So, hopefully all will go well and then I'll either be called in for an interview in person, or just be hired. 

Again, I'll keep ya posted.

Well, NEXT Wednesday is now THIS Wednesday!  TODAY, in little less than half an hour.

Oh, I'm nervous...but, excited.  I'll post after the interview to let everyone know how it went. 

I'm hoping I'll have good news!

good luck and don't hang around here cuz then you'll be late

   Don't know how it went.  Laura, the lady who did the interview, said that they score the answers, and if I was successful with "this stage of the interview", we'd go from there with an actual in person interview.

I was so nervous...

I was told when I did the initial telephone interview (the first one, last week, where I had to call them), that I needed to have my addresses for the last five years to hand, so that they could do a credit check; this Laura didn't even ask about them...  I am wondering if that is a bad sign.  I like computers...but, I don't think I appreciate being evaluated for job competency by them.    The way it works is that the computer compares the answers you give to whatever they feel "the right ones" are, and then, in that way, it determines your suitability for the job. 

I may be stuck where I am...  

I know I should be more positive, but it is hard for me to do right now.  I'm not happy with my present job.  It does help that minimum wage has gone up to £5.05, but I still feel it isn't sufficient for the amount of work we do there...and, I am so worn down physically that I am having difficulty with all the standing and lifting for hours and hours and hours on end each day.

I also feel bad because (I suppose this should go in Grievances), because I could have had a nice, sit-down customer service job in Somerset...the job had basically been handed to me, all I needed to do was show up for the interview (the gentleman who contacted me by phone seemed quite impressed with myself and my CV).  Unfortunately, Jamie's family who previously offered to help us move down there decided they wouldn't help us after all... :\\\'(  So, I had to let the offer go...  and, now, it seems like it's the only offer I'll ever get that gets me out of the situation I am in. 

I feel so helpless and on the edge of a breakdown.  :\\\'( I cry every time I have to get ready to go to work.  But, I have to hold it together, don't I?  I don't have the luxury of not working...

~sigh~

Have you heard anything about the interview yet songmistress. I pray everything goes well.

You are obviously not happy about the job you do right now. Hang on there and everything go on well.

No, I'm not happy at all with my current job due to the change in atmosphere at the shop just lately.  Unfortunately, I have heard back from the bank and, surprise surprise ( ), I didn't get the job.

Things have gone from bad to worse at the health food shop...but, I will post about that later in another thread.  I've taken the day off to get my head on straight, and I had already booked next week off...so, I will use the time wisely to search for another job...even though, what I want to do, is to rest.
