Well they phoned me up this morning and asked if I could come in for an interview, which is great seeing as I ordered new suit trousers last night lol.

Thing is, she said can I come in on Tuesday the 6th at 11AM.....but I just looked and the Tuesday is the 5th. So I'm now thinking I may of heard her wrong (hey she called at 9am and I was sleeping lol).

She said she'd send a letter out today with all the details on, should I just wait for that letter to arrive, or, Sunday/Monday should I send an email just saying;

"Hi , robin here, blah blah, could you please confirm that the interview will take place on tuesday at 11am."

Which one should I do?


Also the job centre are being a right effing pain, I just phoned up, 4 days before hand to say I have an interview and will have to miss my appointment at 1pm because I have to travel to Bungay (complete opposite direction) at 11am, say the interview process takes around 90mins, then 20mins to travel back. That's 1PM, so the guy at the job centre goes, "Ok, you can see us at 2pm then".

I said, well ok but bare in mind that's all a rough guide, my last interview was 9am till 3pm so this might be the same you never know, also I have to walk to town which takes 40mins, so by the time I've done everything exactly to that estimate it will be 1.40pm.

He said no problem, see you tues.

So that's made the stress on that day a bit easier eh!

Hoping the letter will come through tomorrow, because I know I have an interview, but I don't know where it is or on what day.
I do know it's at 11am though lol, and that it's either tues or wed.

I'm hoping it's Wed because my suit won't come till, at earliest, Tuesday....They have taken payment for it, but it's showing out of stock on their site now, so I phoned and said that I bought it when it was in stock, and you've taken payment, does that mean that one has deffinatly been allocated to me, and he said one *should* be, but high demand means they can't be sure, and I'll receive an email once it's been dispatched, but that's no good because it could mean that the email doesn't come for 2 weeks.

Could I get away with this,

I have a black jumper, and it has a collar that looks like I'm wearing a black shirt under it.
I think it looks smart, I may have to wear that and just apologise and say the dog knocked a drink over it so I had to change last minute.
I'll have to bite my fist and go out and buy a 2nd pair of trousers because the ones I ordered may be delayed by other items I ordered at the same time which is a pain in the arse.


Man been waiting for an interview for ages, one comes and:

My suit is too big
My new one has been delayed
I'm not sure of the location
Not sure of the day
Not sure how I'm getting there


Fun fun fun

Why my interview was put off:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/7544544.stm

"The power cut was caused by a fire at a sub-station in Bungay on Friday. "

Edit:

Hey, they even mention Cleys (which is actually Clays) the company I have an interview with, I didn't know they printed Harry Pooper

A week later and I now have this tomorrow, they put it off to the same time 1 week later.

Going to re-read the email I sent so I know exactly what I told them in case they ask me.

Hope I don't get the job, looking forward to resting before getting in to the RAF

I'll try my best like always, I just hope there's someone better then me there.

Had the interview this morning, went ok me thinks, they said they are going to have a second round of interviews and that they will contact me next week about them.

They said because the company runs 24h, the tekkie will need to be contactable sometimes during late/early hours and because of this I would be given a PPC and mobile phone so that I can try and resolve the problem remotely before driving down and playing with the problem.

Fingers crossed really, though I'm not arsed if I get it, I've got an interview at my local RAF office on the 29th.

Nope, I want to go in to the RAF, the problem is I can't go into the RAF till after December..so I need something to do for around 6 months, and I would feel so bad if they offered me the job because I would be leaving so soon.
It's a good job, fairly well paid, but the RAF is more of a career/future for me.

On another note, the called me up this morning and told me I'm in the final stages of the interview process and would like me to come in next tuesday 3.30 for another interview.

If this was 4 months back, I would have been over the moon, it would have been a job I wanted.....It still is, but to me, the RAF pays the same, but long term it's a lot more stable.
