Can we do it again............

Well, powerpoint presentation safely on USB stick, I went for my interview for the Instructors job. It went well, so I thought, so you can imagine how disappointed I was not to be asked a single question on my 5 minutes in the frame. I spent most of the rest of the interview wondering what it was about my powerpoint that they didnt like. It looked visually fantastic, thanks to my 14 year old technical expert at home, it was informative, funny and just the right length. I delivered it in a firm, authorative, yet friendly voice, it contained just the right amount of factual information and personal views, yet not one comment. At the end of my time I asked for questions to be met only by a wall of silence that organised crime would be proud of. I carried on through the interview contemplating what mistakes I had made, but I always came to the same conclusion, it was perfect. As for the rest of the interview, well pretty routine really. I was given a variety of scenarios and asked to give my opinion as to what I would have done if I had been in the said situation. So now it is a case of sit tight, keep hands, legs and anything else I can, crossed. I did speak with the other interviewee's for their own very personal interview experiences and found them all to be similar to mine. We have all been promised a quick decision especially as the new trainees start with us in just a couple of weeks. and, I shall, as ever, keep all my readers informed of the outcome. Til the next time, take care riding the rails.

All the news.............

Well as promised here is my review of the film Cop Out. It was good, really good, no honestly it was. OK, the truth, I fell asleep. The trouble with working nights is, wait for it, stop press, you get tired.  It is so hard to stay awake when you are sitting in a warm room, you have eaten well and it's 3am. Unfortunately, Cop Out was not enough to make me stay awake.
I am also pleased to report I got my interview for the Instructor job and have an interview date later this week. I have to do a presentation on the subject of customer service, so I shall be composing a powerpoint presentation to hopefully give me the edge.

As ever, I shall keep you posted.
