I attended my first ever job interview today. Not bad for someone of nearly 50 years of age! I guess being a serial entrepreneur means that I just don’t like working for others.
This one is interesting. It’s for the position of non-executive chair of a public services company. Now I’ve never worked in this sector so I’ve been really intrigued by the way that they go about hiring. I must confess that it’s not the way that I would do it – to send in an application form with a supporting paragraph or two to back up why you are applying and no CV is strange to me, so I did it my way which was a bit cheeky and sent them a supporting letter with a photograph.
The interview itself seemed to go well. A three man panel who asked intelligent questions and created a nice atmosphere to allow me to feel comfortable. I enjoyed the experience much to my surprise.
I’ll have to wait and see if I did enough to move forward to the next stage. Watch this space!
