Going Nuts

With regards to interviews......

I used to be in sales and these comments were always used in first, second and third interviews. I never held back and only ever got knocked back on one job.

"How do you feel about me?"
"Do you think I will fit in with the team?"
"What is your recruitment process, i.e. timescale, second / third interview?"
There's loads more but the one question that you should always ask at the end of an interview is.......

"Have I got the job / second interview etc.?"

All recruiters like confident and direct employees, it is what stands you out from the crowd and will get you noticed.

Incidentally, I have been consistently busy as a tiler. I believe that it is because I close the deal before I leave the customers house. A simple question like "when do you want me to start?" usually does the job.

Good luck mate .
Stay positive.

Daz, well said my good man. All good tips there too :hurray:

I used the line "so have you got any reservations about me or giving me the job" to my current boss. He was very taken aback. considering I was the youngest person, and least qualified/experienced they'd seen, I thought I'd go for broke

Had the pleasure of meeting Daz and i would say yes he has got it and it makes all the difference in life and work confidence and a belief in what you can do

The worst advice you'll get is "don't worry, something will turn up" but I'm afraid it rarely does. The good news is a lot of other people still believe that and by going the extra mile and following some of the excellent advice you've been given here you will increase your chances tenfold. Above all don't lose heart. Make a positive effort and you will succeed.

Right, I've just bombarded Paul with about 20 emails today, following his 1 to me this morning hope he doesn't get too lost in the masses of information I chucked at him :lol:

CV freshened up, covering letter freshened up, some interview prep tips and a nice spreadsheet containing about a years worth of my own job hunting complete with positive and negative feedback about my interview performance :yikes:

Anybody else need a job hunting hand? :smart:
