Preparation

So 

My interview is tomorrow at 3pm

And all systems are go to prepare for it

I sat down with my sisters and mum yesterday evening 

And went over possible questions that I may be asked 

I jotted them all down

And I also researched the charity

So I will know if I am asked

It actually seems like a really great organisation

Founded here in Ireland in 1844

They are the largest voluntary organisation

Their main goal is to help individuals and families alleviate poverty

It's such a force for good

And is something I would love to be involved in

I also rang a guy I know 

Who works in the same area

He was a great help 

And gave me some insider knowledge 

As well as key buzz words that interviewers look for 

Last night 

I sorted out my outfit 

Louisa suggested that I not wear the typical interview uniform

Black blazer

Black slacks 

And a white shirt 

This is a safe bet 

But as Louisa pointed out 

Everyone will be wearing that 

And it might be good to wear something else 

Just so I stand out 

I have a navy blue dress I could wear 

But I will make a final decision later on today

My sister pointed out that interviewers want to see personality 

And I hope I come across friendly yet professional 

Capable and able 

With a can do attitude

I hope I can show that I work well on my own and can use my initiative 

But also work well as part of a team

And can take direction well

I want to show that I am a good all rounder 

My sister alwAys says

If you wAnt something done

Ask Ruby

Because I am quick and efficient 

And get the job done 

So if I could manage to get that in

That would be great

I guess I want to sell myself 

But not come across as arrogant or over confident

Balance me thinks 

If I can communicate that I am enthusiastic and motivated 

I minght just have a chance 

 

Now it's just a waiting game 

Keep going over my notes 

Keep hoping that  I do well

Keep fighting for a better life
