The one great thing about getting an ongoing job earlier this year was that I did not have to do job interviews anymore. They are definitely my least favorite part of the application process, especially when I've had these horribly long hour and half ones with an activity (usually writing a briefing). I'm just not that good at interviewing, especially when the panel is all people you know or work with. It's a bit hard to sell yourself and your accomplishments when they see what you do on a daily basis.
I have, however, dressed up nicely today to interview for a two month secondment to a manager position in my Branch, which is covering for my manager who is going on holidays over December and January. The interview process this time was a little less stressful as it was an informal conversation for 20 minutes. I felt that I did well answering their questions and emphasizing my strengths. Hopefully I'll be given the opportunity to do the role- will hear a result sometime next week.
