Yesterday's effort....

Interview with Prudential in Stirling. Went better than anticipated. Competency based conversation went well. I did not perspire or cry (only on the inside). Would be very pleased to get an offer. We will see..!!

NCR Interview no.2

Had a telephone interview with NCR in Dundee last week for a 3 month gig. Kinda odd as was speaking to German lady in London. Was unsuccessful and got no feedback (see a previous post/s) so wrote them off my list of prospectives. But, wait, halt, stand easy.... They have a second opportunity for which I am being interviews tomorrow!

No CV please....

Aberdeen Council has a recruitment system that does not need you to submit s CV. Cannot decide if this is good or bad. Don't think it does me any favours with my fragmented past and present situation....

Aberdeen University job

Unsuccessful in my half (quarter) hearted attempt to secure/win this job. This saved me some anguish and a bothersome decision. The feedback was highly generic snd no use at all.

Anyway they didn't shake hands or offer water (see previous 'etiquette' post)....not unhappy but sad not to have s job..!!
