Interview
Possibly Friday afternoon.
But I have had a bit of a panic - what about my hair? I have never had an itnerview with such stupid colours on my hair - it’s fine when I am settled and people know me, but going for the interview I need to tame it down a little bit.
I might see if I can get the whole of Friday off, and have my hair done in the morning, then I can head on over for my interview in the afternoon.
That’s assuming they can fit me in then. I spoke with the agent, and he said end of this week, beginning of next. Beginning of next week will be difficult, as W is now off for 2 weeks, and B is off for the first 3 days of next week. Friday would be ideal - assuming I can get the day off. It helps that I have 8 days left to take (I already have agreement I can carry some over into next year). I already have most of Christmas and New Year booked off, then if I take all the holiday I am owed once I hand in my notice then it doesn’t leave an awful lot of actual working days.
Of course, I am assuming I will get the job, which is not a given.
However, the Head of Department has said he doesn’t need to interview me, so it will be HR plus someone else - not sure who. Not sure how rigorous an interview it will be (I once had an interview where we spent most of the time talking about cross stitch!).
I will try and get a ’skip level meeting’ with the big boss before I make any decision though. It’s a shame, because on the whole I like the company I work for now, and I like the people I work with. However, this paper is the biggest ‘personal development’ (which they are oh so keen to talk about) thing that has ever happened to me, and they don’t think I am worth £1500.
