Another Interview

Well I had my telephone interview this morning and am going for another real interview tomorrow, it's like Deja vu, the guy from the agency is really irritating, he's so patronising you'd think people were completely clueless, he actually sent me this in an e-mail:


·         Take another look at the clients website
·         Have a good read through the email below (as there are some very good tips and tricks)
·         Double check the location and your route - (details below) – Make sure you arrive 10 minutes earlyand research your journey
 Main points you should research:
·         Core business / Key Product
·         When incorporated
·         Size / Sites:
·         Number of staff
·         Number of sites
·         Industries
·         Competitors

Dress Code
You have one opportunity to impress the client and show yourself off and look very smart and fresh:
·         Clean clothes
·         Clean shaven
·         Clean shoes
·         Smart Haircut
·         Conservative dress / Professional Image – avoid ‘Mickey Mouse’ ties, musical underwear or luminous socks!

I don't even know where I would buy musical underwear let alone what makes him think people might wear it to an interview.  Other than that today I have re-watched the 1st 2 series of Parks and Recreation and made a yummy Mediterranean veg pasta bake for dinner, fingers crossed for the interview tomorrow although it's depressing that I'm now so desperate that cold-calling which I did once for 3 days and hated is now something I'm hoping for!
