Oooooh Shit

Well, after Friday’s news that I’d got one interview next Friday. It was good news, because I can’t deny, I’d been beginning to think “eeek” about moving with no potential interviews or promising work advances.

Well, it never rains, and all that toss. I’ve been told today that I now have two interviews on Friday. One at 9am in London, which is a real biggie for me, and I’m already slightly orbital about it. I’ll be fine closer to the time, but the run-up to it is going to have my brain in a mode similar to that caused by feeding a two-year-old loads of sugar and dodgy food colourings. The second interview is at 1pm in Bracknell. The timing is going to be close, but I’m padding it all a bit so I should be OK. Infamous last words.

It’s the first one that is the one that’ll be most interesting. It’s at least one grade higher than I was looking at or expecting, and the pay is commensurately higher, although the concept of weekly progress reports to the Senior Managers is a bit of a nerve-wracker initially.

Having looked at it, some of the requirements are going to require a learning curve so steep it might as well be called effing vertical, but it’s more that they use commercial packages for stuff that I’ve already done or designed by hand. So I should be able to get through it. I’m just going to go off and gibber in the corner for a while now….
