    Interview Nerves

    Does anyone else suffer?

    The thing I worry most aboht is having clammy hands as I dont want to offer a wet wish of a handshake so I always have security a pocketful of talc.

    My most recent interview was awful though. I was left waiting in a lobby for half an hour stewing in my own thoughts to the repetitive sound of <bing bong ! Good morning, clint co, how may I help you?>

    And all the while Im sat the wrong side of security with the toilet door tantalisingly in front of me. Interview nerves always make me want to go to plop plops!

    Then theres the lift. Ah the lift. Its not so much the fear of the lift falling its just that split second between the lift stopping and the doors ooening that has my heart in my mouth.

    <bing bong ! Good morning, clint co, how may I help you?>

    At least i live in a parth of the country where my boyfriend can offer me support. As a gay Asian man I cant tell you how important it is to me to be able to hold hands with my boyfriens at the bar while waiting for our drinks to arrive without having to worry about my ethnicity or my sexuality.

    I didnt feel that Rotherham was the place for this though.

    Then theres tge airlock on the way out - a final bit of torture. I guffed in there SO I PITY THE nexg entrant lol.

    Do you get interview nerves?

        Oh Dear,

        Maybe you should have stayed in the Business/Contracting forum a bit longer...

            I'm going to go further and suggest that he isn't a sockie.

            Which means that I'm not going to allow you to make him cry or bleed (no downright nastiness in other words).

            He's under Cojak's protection (until I say otherwise...)

                    The thing I would worry more about is spelling and grammar.
