As some know, my business went to the wall a few years back and I ended up with my head up my arse and bankrupt 
For the past year or so, I've smashed my head against various walls trying in vain to earn a living and mostly failing miserably 

WELL LOOKS LIKE MY LUCK MIGHT HAVE CHANGED 

Got what's left of my hair cut this morning and bumped into a old school pal who I haven't seen for years.
Ended up chatting as you do and I let it slip that I've sweet FA work on and i'm on the verge of selling my arse 
Well he wasn't interested in my arse but it turns out he works for a recruiting firm here in Hull and they have just got a contract to supply labour for a portacabin firm who have just got a massive contact for the Olympics.
Well they are screaming out for sparkys and most trades and I've got a interview at 10am this Monday 
Its a really crap shift Mon - Wed 17:00 till 03:30 and Thurs 17:00 till 01:00 and I know it will kill me but I just need to take some of the pressure off swmbo because her paying for everything is driving me nuts 

I haven't been to a formal interview in over 20 years and i'm bloody terrified 
I can't find most of my papers or anything 

Would it be good idea to take my mum along 

I know one thing though ................ I can't see me getting much sleep over the next few days

Good luck!

Would it be good idea to take my mum along 

You say that in jest but, in my mid 20s (the last time I did an external formal interview) I always seemed to find myself parked up at the place with 20 minutes spare, phoning my mum up for reassurance..

Best of luck TG

Best of luck Steve. Stay calm, relax, and most importantly, "Google" the company and get some info then just mention a few of their projects etc during the interview chat. You`d be surprised how much importance employers place on a prospective employee`s knowledge of the company they are hoping to work for

[pauls]

Good luck mate

[cam2502]

All the best mate. 

[05omegav6]

Indeed, best of luck

On the brightside, those hours mean you won't need to be getting up at silly o'clock

its not a bad idea to actually tell them that when you go in !

if you want some coaching, you know where I am

[Radar]

Best of luck and be yourself. I'm sure you will be fine.

I wouldn't take your mum along (maybe a favourite teddy?)

.....and did she go in with you, Aaron?.......

Well done TG!  I know exactly how you feel.  A few months ago I setup shop in partnership with a foreign IT Security company and since then I have only had bit-jobs dribbling in, barely enough to pay the bills and even then sometimes not.  I leave for Lyon next week to finalise a long term highly lucrative contract which means I will be commuting a lot but this will generate enough income to start growing the UK side, hiring more people developing more products etc.

I am a very happy bunny today! 

By the way, I deal a lot with recruiting and recruiters so if you need any tips or advice for your interview just drop me a PM

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Good luck, Mr Gonads.

I was about to offer you a full-time  job of impregnating young virgins.

The pay would have been £150,000 P.A with a company car of your choice. 

Of course. You don't need the job now.

 

[Ever Ready]

Best of luck on Monday mate, Interviews can be a pain at the best of times but murder if you aint been to one for a while

[SP_3.2]

All the best 

[Sir Tigger KC]

That's great news Mr Gonads!! All the best with the interview and I hope it works out for you!!
