deathpixieToday's interview was with Legal Aid, for a litigation assistant's position. Now the funny thing is that I never applied for this one - I applied for a more basic admin type job and on seeing my resume they decided to give me a shot at this instead. Which is good sign number one, right?
This was my first interview with an actual employer, which made me a lot more hopeful any way - the agencies are proving useless. So I get there, and it's not unlike the whole process from the Department of Justice - panel of three, with the woman who arranged the interview (the office manager), the solicitor in charge of administrative things and the barrister who I'd actually be working with. They hit me with the computer stuff first, which I managed to get through okay, and then got onto the meaty parts, the bits I'm actually really good at. Whole thing took about 45 minutes, which is pretty good for an interview - you don't want them to go too long or people get bored, but not so brief that you don't cover everything. I never know what to ask at the end when they ask if I have any questions, tho'. :(
Still, the thing's done, ave it my best shot and hopefully I'll hear something soonish. *flops* Now for the rest of the day off.
