One More Round.......

DAIR · 25 Mar 2011 at 12:05

Three weeks ago my recuitment agent organised a telephone interview with my next potential employer.

The telephone interview went very well. So well that they invited me (over the phone) to come and visit them for a face to face interview.

The second interview took place last week. Overall it went pretty well... I was almost surprised at how relaxed I felt during the session. I answered all questions and asked a few myself without hesitation.

Today I received a call from the recruitement agent....... He informed me that they wish to see me again

. Now I'm dropping bricks..... As its make or break time.

I really hope I get this job lol!

Onwards and Upwards *Salute*

The third and final round took place this morning!

Where do I start..... lol.

Got there 30mins late. All because someone decided to crash on the motorway.

Fortunately, they brushed off the delay.

Overall it went pretty well. They seemed impressed with what I had to say!

Fingers crossed I get the role!

Thanks guys!

Okay.... Now I'm really dropping brick.

I've just finished speaking with the recruitment agency. Basically today is Judgement Day. The firm have narrowed it down to two people.... Myself and one other!

Apparently they really like me. The only downside is that they were slightly concerned about me showing up late for the third interview (to be fair that wasnt my fault). Either way they still really like me!

We then went one to talk about salary..... Whether or not I'd accept the role if they offered less than what I'm currently on and what I'd do if my current employer delivered a counter offer to keep me on board...

I cant concentrate.... Feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!

Congrats! I hope the money and terms offered suit now as well. Well done.

Yeah, its a few pennies more than I'm currently on

.

I received the contract via email (a copy is being sent in the post too) yesterday. I guess this is as real as it gets. I just hope I've made the right decision now.

Plan to hand in my notice on Monday...... Dreading it

Congrats! It's a great feeling when you get a job that you want!

Don't dread it. Keep your notice short and to the point. If it's relevant, perhaps add a line or two saying how grateful you are for the opportunities you had in your current role etc etc. Don't burn bridges.

I intend to do so. They've been great!

Received my new contract in the post over the weekend. Signed them and handed in my notice during a meeting with the powers that be on Monday.

In short, it all went very well

.

Start my new job in the middle of May. Will be sad to leave this place.

Hope my career shoots up another 10 fold after this!
