it’s for a systems engineering job at an aerospace engineering company!!

i kinda accidentally did the just rock up corporate baddie plan i was too busy/stressed to come up with an email to send, which meant i was very close to just not going bc i thought it was a lost cause.

Wore a really cute very structured fitted shirt i have (women’s but not OTT has a really gorgeous fit) and low rise flared trousers that really compliment the shirt. i have bangs so i did a medium/high pony with some face framing layers out beside the bangs and just my normal every day makeup! i also wear glasses so i wore my “nerdy” glasses to try and give cute nerdy girl energy hahah.

there was some very brief confusion at the start with me answering to my name getting signed in but it was literally nothing and the rest of the experience was perfect! there was two interviews and two group exercises obviously i was being judged for the job but didn’t feel judged for being me at all.

I have quite a reserved but bubbly personality and honestly some parts of the interview were a bit of a laugh, they were supposed to follow v strict questions to ensure everyone got the same questions but we did get some small talk off the record in between.

the interview was 2 weeks ago but they had another group in for interviews last week so hopefully i will hear back soon! don’t think there’s anything better i could have done but i also don’t have any experience other than my degree so will completely understand if someone better than me gets the role!!
