How did it go?
Went pretty well I think. This one was very informal, being used to draw up a short list for another round of interviews next week.
He explained how the process will work, then started asking about the work I do now, and have done in the past. 14 years is a long time at the same company so that was good, I am trained and experienced in every section, so it wouldn't matter what section I would be set to manage. He asked about flexibility, I pointed out (well mentioned) that's not a problem, I already work any shift I am needed on often without the usual 24 hours notice.
He was making notes the whole time, and actually hi-lighted my cover-letter where I mention working with "business partners and clients", mentioning only one of the current managers does that. Then the usual computer literacy, stuff like that.
Oddest question, what would I do if two of my staff got into a physical fight. I'd call security and send the other staff for a brew 'till its clear, what else would you do? Still the first one to get it right.

Wouldn't be too negative on that one. They normally tell people they haven't got it before they tell those that have. I've certainly done it, that way nobody gets bad news from someone else who lets slip they've got the job.
So, hang in there buddy.

That's the thing, guy I work with has his interview time lol.
The general manager is a decent bloke though, and I get on fine with him. So if I dont, I will let everything settle again after peak and ask him what I can do to improve for next time.
