You haven't worked out that no one is? The emperor has no clothes.
Take some drama lessons, they're good at teaching you how to act (I use the word advisedly) in situations.

I don't think they knew precisely what they wanted,

does anyone? If they did they would be the first employer I knew who did.

I doubt that.

but at least I have the image of you dancing at your desk!

why did you turn it down? if you don't mind me asking?

Too big a risk for me all things considered. I don't think they knew precisely what they wanted, added to which I don't think I could have pulled off some aspects of the role (I'm not senior enough to be credible, in my opinion). If it hadn't worked out, I'd have been scuppered at a key client for contracting, too.

...they actually made an offer. I turned it down.

McDonalds will no doubt be worse off without you, but at least you came away with your dignity intact.

At the risk of sounding like an up my own arse n0bber - update:

The interview went reeeeeeeeeally well - no dry retching from me, and no awkward silences anywhere. I am quietly* proud of myself for getting through what was quite a tough interview, all in all.

After much to-ing and fro-ing in the days following the interview (during which time it became obvious they weren't sure how they saw the role working) they actually made an offer. I turned it down.

Thanks all for advice; I went for it properly and am pleased I did so.




*when I say quietly, I did do a small dance involving jumping round, shaking my bottom, and singing 'I'm the best, la la la' upon returning to my desk.

I don't think I'm interviewing to keep anyone happy; more from the point of view that I have nothing to lose. Except my dignity perhaps. Not sure on wanting the role, will probably get a better feel for that during the interview...

Bloody hell, woman - haven't you done it yet? I just clicked on this thread to get the outcome, and you're still in the prep/panic phase.

Can't you be put in a coma until 5 minutes before it starts. The lack of progress is killing me. And you, by the sounds of it.

Ps. Best of luck! (Again.)

[MaryPoppins]

Not sure if you already said, but MP do you actually want the permie position or are you interviewing to keep them happy?
