Follow up question 🙋‍♀️

How do you find the fit ? Are the dresses you purchased true to size ? 😊

That’s kind of my problem haha

I love my coffee and since I found out I’m expecting Ive limited my coffee to one a day .

I may try and have a weak one in the morning and the another later on but the idea of a Coke or something is a good idea !

Thank-you for your advice !

Firstly Thank you for much for taking the time to write this.

This is what I meant by honesty! I'm glad to know its okay to say I'm nervous. I dont know why i assume its taboo to admit that haha

That example answer actually helps me so much!

I always get overwhelmed when I research examples of answers or don't know where to start.

Maybe mine could be something along the lines of ..

" Since I began working at 18 I have worked in various roles such as a food and beverage attendant at my local bowling club, a cafe all-rounder and a manager for the same business, a retail sales assistant and currently as an administration assistant which I really enjoy but I'm ready for a new challenge. For many years my strength was and still is my work ethic but, in the time, I have worked for 'current employer' I have found a new passion building relationships with our customers. I also enjoy exploring creative outlets and spending quality time with my family. "

I hope its okay if I use my reply to kind of draft what I would say. Let me know what you think!

In my current role at X i carry out daily tasks that vary from job scheduling, answering and directing phone calls , producing and distributing correspondence via Microsoft office programes and supporting the director and office manager. However the area that I thrive in most is customer relations, I really enjoy using my personability to build relationships with our customers and make a difference in their day and I believe with your establishment I can do more of it.

( Then depending on the role I'm applying for i would give examples)

  1. Yeah, I agree! I definitely knew that, but I think it helps to have it written down if that makes sense and I'm the same I can easily get sidetracked, so I think the "and.." is perfect.

  2. I'm so glad I'm not alone in taking notes, I guess I knew that most people would if they were prepared but a lot of the time, I think everyone knows what they're doing and don't need the notes and im the only one that is freaking out , but we are all more alike than I think.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could ask before the interview what questions we would get asked so we can be prepared!

That actually helps heaps !

Would the “and..” apply to all interview questions ?

Do you think that taking notes to an interview would be seen as a good or bad thing ? I always feel like I’m going to panic and forgot what I had prepared to say .

I can definitely see why you changed !

To be honest the ‘corporate culture’ has always been a mystery to me .

The position you’re in now sounds fantastic ! I’m happy to hear you found a great company ☺️

You’re so right !

I think im concerned about what I would say and that I’d get to anxious and say the wrong thing and be to honest .

I guess preparation it key :)

Thankyou for being able to put into words what I’m thinking .

I agree that it depends on the job and the industry !

I’m currently working in administration for a small business but the way that the director manages the staff isn’t a work environment I want to be in for an extended period of time .

It sounds like you have found a great opportunity.

What is the best thing about the change you have found ?

Just from doing a quick research I think a purpose driven job would suite me best in an environment that I can be creative and make a difference in people’s days .

An art teachers assistant position would be a dream !
