A long ramble
Oct. 24th, 2006 11:43 amHad a moment of blind panic this morning when Greg said he couldn't play games tonight or tomorrow because he has too much reading to do for Thursday's interview
I thought I was just about ready but now I'm worried Greg will know loads more than me. In theory we shouldn't get asked any technical questions. It's all supposed to be based on a set of core competences we have in the civil service (working in a team, leading people etc) but now I'm worried in case they ignore this and ask me about networks and whatnot.
So now I have to do some swatting up just in case. Greg is my friend but I will be quite hacked off if he gets the job based on stuff he read in a book when I went over to his house a couple of months back to fix his PC for him.
Gah!

I had a chat with the guy who interviewed me last week to see where I went wrong. He wasn't able to give me specifics as that's all in a report he's sent to our personnel department to send to me (wtf?). He gave me some general advice of the sorts of things interviewers are looking for though so I think I have a good idea of what I want to say.
Blind panic has slightly reduced now and I just need to keep it that way
