We will survive..
Just on the train back from another interview for an exciting job opportunity. The role involves a substantial amount of digital maintenance from social media updates to re branding their company and their website. A lot to get my fingers stuck into for sure! The company itself is a marketing company who deal with branding. Some of the brands they have under their wings are pretty up their companies, I'll leave it at that. The interview was a very informal assessment (pretty much a group interview) which involved showcasing our own skills and what we would do to overcome the obstacles faced within the first 6 months of the position, and more importantly, what would the obstacles be. I was faced with two other candidates and one of the assessments was a prioritising of list of people who should be on a lifeboat to maintain human life. We called our presentation "we will survive" - it was a great way to showcase our own individual reasonings behind who we chose and why. It was an experience for sure and not at all daunting. I think I was lucky given the situation as it was informal. More of a them getting to know me environment which was really comfortable. If you're ever faced with an assessment day just be confident and be yourself. After all, that's all you can give. Don't get me wrong, it's daunting to see your competition as it were with you doing group tasks and chatting along but in a way it gives your a competitive flare which I think worked in my favour. The other two individuals had worked in similar positions before so had more experience than me. But don't let that knock you. I told them about this project and they liked it and I told them honesty everything I had done that would make me suited to the role. Past work experience, jobs, modules at Uni - the lot! Pretty exciting opportunities await and I am grateful for any progress. If today I was unfortunately unsuccessful, it's a group interview under my belt and I am now used to that environment. As mentioned before, attitude is everything Intrigued Rhys out
