11.30 Interview time! Didnt sell myself as much as I could but if the main point is selling items I think I did OK. Would have prefered the recruitment man rather than the lady I had but she was generally friendly and helped me out when I was stuck.
10.30 Prep for the selling exercise. I survey the items and wait to be approached, 30mins later I'm trying to sell to a 'mum with 2 kids'. Overall it went well but a coupl10e of stumbles.
10.00 Team building: we're given the desert island scenario and we have items to pick from a list. We go with a bowl, matches, an empty toolbox (my idea), a knive and a sleeping bag.
09:30 It begins! A group of 5 of us are welcomed by the regional manager and told of the mornings activities. First a team exercise then a mock selling activity with an interview to end it off.
08:21 waiting at Manchester Oxford Road for my next train. The actual job wouldn't be this far only the interview but bloody hell I'm tired and a bit cold. Plus O seem to be very gassy this morning.
07:30 At Liverpool South Parkway I am saddened to be joined by other journeymen. One particular fellow looks like he has partied at Glastonbury since y2k and I attempt a stealth picture. However I forget that my flash is set on and I panic, he seems none the wiser so I'll retry later.
07.13 : Morning. This is my first job interview in a long time and I thought I may as well throw my experience on here. So the day started at 5.55 with the realisation that my monthly train pass has gone walkies during the night so I scramble to find change. Then I 'suit up' and head out the door with a 'good luck' from the sleepy missus. Got to Lime St and got myself a vitamin water (very southern!) and now the man with the paddle has waved us off and here we go!
