Im totally thrilled, excited and nervous as hell all rolled into one!
Only filled in my application form last night and they want to see me tomorrow, this forum has had a lot of luck with people gaining employment so i'm hoping some of all of your good luck and success might just rub off on me.

I guess i just have to be confident and enthusiastic that i am a perfect addition to the team.
Never had a proper job interview before only ever had informal chats. Not quite sure what the normal format is of these things, but i'll go with the flow and fingers crossed i will say the right things  |

"There must be something in the air - me yesterday, you tomorrow ...
Wishing you the very best of luck! "
Never done a formal interview before. Im confident in my abilities and with the job role but worried i'll buckle under pressure. Friends who also had interviews said it was pretty intense. Ive only ever had 2 jobs before and i got those through an informal chat not sit round a board room desk. |

Good luck, make sure you have previous examples of when you've done the things there are looking for in the job description or specification.
And relax, they want you to be the person that they are looking for. |

At the end they will ask you if you have any questions for them
Just ask some thing work related but bland
Been doing interviews lately and nothing worse than the questions being about when the gym is open or what time the canteen does breakfast til lol
Good luck - I'm sure you'll impress them x |

Are you quite sure you want the forum rubbing up against you? 
I happen to know where some of them have been and I wouldn't recommend it...  |

You now have experience with toddlers. If you can keep calm with a little 'un you'll be fine with people in suits. Good luck!! |

the man is right! By showing an interest in your future with them and possible areas of growth and progression you are showing that you are prepared to invest in the long term with them. |

God that was quick working, CRBs usually take at least 2 weeks and I had to give 3 months notice. I forget what I've applied for and where I'm going by the time I've got to go |

Interview lasted an hour, it went amazingly well i answered with in-depth replies to various situations that could occur.
She complimented me and said id given the most detailed an accurate answers to date and told me that providing my enhanced CRB comes back clean (which it will do) she would be delighted to have me as part of the team.
Id like to see that in writing before i jump for joy, so for now i'm just feeling pretty damm good
Oh and i start a week long training program with them on Monday 9-5pm wooooop woooooop |

Hey, good for you sweetheart. I'm really pleased for you and it's great to see someone having a large slice of luck for a change. Although it sounds like luck didn't have much to do with it given how good your answers were. Sounds like you know your stuff, and the interviewer spotted it, so take stock from that, build up heaps of confidence and go get 'em girl!
Well done. x |

Although i am more than confident in my abilities as a HCA and looking after the elderly, its a brand new nursing home so they probably need around 100 staff. So they might just be saying yes to everyone who ticks the boxes. Wasnt like a scrap from 1000 people for 1 job. Still i feel very lucky that there was a need for jobs in health care |

if they have paid for the CRB then you will get the job if it comes back ok, they dont just pay for a CRB for everyone they interview its to expensive
im sure you'll get it if they have gone to the trouble of that |

Don't sell yourself short. With all the broo-haha in the media recently about poor levels of care in care homes and abuse of residents by dodgy staff they know they have to get the right people and they'll be very selective about who they employ. |

Read the job spec thousands of times and pitch to them that your exactly what they are looking for!
Also have a gander @ their website research what they do and then if they ask you any questions you will be more likley to know and you can also ask them questions.
every thing is crossed for ya x |

Well done Cute, that is excellent news
Dont put yourself down, they would have seen a confident, astute young woman and feel you would be an asset to the team.
Nursing care is specialist and I know some excellent Healthcare Assistants who go over and above the salary they earn. Working in a care home will be such a rewarding experience and good workers will ensure that the residents enjoy a high standard of living and care. |
