This is why I came back from the UK instead of leaning on my brothers bar until my liver failed.
Now I just need to make the right impression in the interview.

Re: The Big Up Thread
Liz, They were more specific to the current situation with our office relocating.
How do you perceive the dynamics within the team changing with a new manager, how can I be part of that, what expectations do you have of the successful candidate?
Will there be opportunities for specific training available?
How will the focus/ emphasis on KPI's and behavioural management change with all the new staff?

It's a game we all get better at playing. The best expereience I've had for job interviews is being on the other side of the desk andinterviewing people, know I know what they are looking for when they ask certain things.Lizkins wrote:Blaxter wrote:Liz, They were more specific to the current situation with our office relocating.

Theres heaps of online stuff too...

Re: The Big Up Thread
the key with that stuff is also don't over do it.
most interviewers can detect when they are being fed answers that they want to hear.
much better to be yourself imo.

Thats what the HR manager told me. They want to see you give answers from experience or based on how you think you might approach a situation.mrj wrote:the key with that stuff is also don't over do it.

If they think you are bullshitting or sayin rehearsed lines they will throw a curve ball question to unsettle you.
I was gonna suggest the MB.com resident expert on HR matters would have good advice.

Re: The Big Up Thread
i enjoy the 'serious career talk' if doesnt work out then leave or revert to old posistion. can be scary though, very fine line between gentle (relentless) pushing and coming off like a smug dickhead.
bai guise, can has more holiday at busy time? can have more 'sabbatical' instead of training n00bs teh technicals (aka F11 help menu)?
was going to stay in melbourne but there arent ANY decent places for rent it seems. at all, and its winter now. good raevs though.
