Interview

This morning at the bright and early hour of 2.10am I had my EPIK interview.

It went OK, but I am a little bit disappointed! I’m not entirely sure I managed to a lot of my points across, and I think I rambled a little bit which is probably very very bad since my hiring depends on my ability to clearly express myself in English. D’oh

It’s not that I didn’t have any answers; simply that I could have been more concise with them.

I was quite tired since I didn’t sleep and had had a busy day. (Christening, followed by a friend’s BBQ), so that is my defence, nevertheless I still think I could have sensibly prepared myself a bit more beforehand. I’ve obviously researched so much and am dedicated to the job and moving to SK, however it’s how well I showed that on the spot, in an interview at 2am that I found difficult!

My interviewer did however praise my lesson plan and application, so hopefully they will go easy on me & give me a placement!

Fingers crossed, I’ll find out in a few days whether I’ve got it.
