i had a job interview this afternoon.
Im not sure how it went. the job description was clearly not what Ive done inthe past, but related to it. They would have known this before interviewing me but I didnt as they provided the JD, which sounded exactly like a prior job iv done, when in fact its pretty different.

I think it went OK, we were talking for well over an hour, and not just me rambling on. The interviewer ended it by saying thanks for a great interview and made it clear when Id hear something back as to whether I will have a second interview or not etc.

Im more nervous now than before the interview, its a big step up in terms of $ too, which we really need at the moment. On the other hand there are some good opportunities at my current job that Id be sad to miss, if only they would pay me more..

Oooh good luck!

How long did they say you'd have to wait to hear? I *hate* waiting around to hear back about job interviews.

she said i should hear whther i have a second interview by nex week at the latest.
Im doubtfu, i feel sick to the stomacht he more i think abot it - i wasnt this nervous before the interview.

When I applied for my current job I was faily confident from the first interview, but time its very different. It didnt go badly, but Im just not sure

If it is any reassurance, I left the last interview I did absolutely sure I wouldn't get the job. I didn't have the specific experience they wanted, and no tertiary qualifications. And they offered me the job! I was totally not expecting it.

Pandora - Best of luck with the job.....and the second interview!

Regarding crawling: of my 4 kiddie winks - my first didn't crawl, he went from commando to walking......now 11 years old - absolutely no problems with motor skills - highly intelligent etc......sometimes failure to crawl is no sign of any problems. DS1 just had a big head, and was disproportionate which made it difficult to crawl. Tat - Reuben has only just started to crawl in the last week, and I thought that was early. don't let them worry you too much.

Ive been thinking about the job stuff over the weekend, and Ive decided Im calling the recruiter tomorrow and telling him I dont want to proceed in the interview process.

How does this sound ??

'On reflection the difference in the actual job compared with how it was advertised is a lot, and i dont think its the dierction I want to go in'

Its difficult as its a large pay rise if i got it, and we need the $, but things are picking up at work, i just got some really good feeedback from my manager, and Im being sent on a really good training course in March that will enable me to get some industry (IT) certification..Im just not sure Im ready to pass it up..

Pandora: Good luck with making your decision, it is difficult especially when the $$ are involved. But as you said your work is picking up, so maybe its better the devil you know than the one you don't.

Well Jack is well and truely crawling now, pulling himself up on everything and everyone. It is great that he is moving as he is more content, but it is so much more work. We live in an old farm house and lots of bugs get in through all the well sealed doors and windows (not) so I'm constantly trying to be one step ahead of him to prevent his diet becoming one full on insects.

Jack has just cut 2 more teeth, he has 4 teeth on the bottom and 2 top teeth (with another 2 just about to arrive) he seems to teeth without too much complaint which is handy.

Oh and my darling son has learnt how to squeal, he will be in the highchair and if he wants something or someone he lets you know it. Not the nicest sound in the world, and my placid son is suddenly becoming very demanding.

Hope everyone else is doing well, and not suffereing too much with lack of sleep and teething.
