Interview

I had my first interview in a very long time.  The job was recruitment consultant.  I think I would do really well as that, as most of the recruiters I know have a very similar personality and temperament to me...but who knows. I think it went well, I was interviewed by someone junior and then by her manager - so at least I got to the second round of things.

Apparently there are 2-3 more rounds of interviewing.  I find that to be a lot, but I really would like this job - so I'll be good and try to keep my answers consistent and understandable.  Sometimes in interviews I do have to tell myself to just shut up - I know thats amazing right for those of you who know me would find that incomprehensible!  hehe :-)

I find myself slightly worried about this job.  I would like to have it, I think I could learn a lot and that it could be a job I would really enjoy in the long term.  The pay is okay.  What scares me is the holiday.  I have been working in England for the past 3 years where my base holiday was 20 days plus the 5-7 public holidays we had (there may be more than that I donno) - but this job is offering drastically less than that.  Lets put it this way they are giving me enough holiday to go one place once a year - that's it!!!  My question is - if I get through the next rounds of interviews and decide to negotiate the holiday - what if they don't negotiate? - do I still take the job?  I find myself lost again.  I guess it doesn't even matter unless I get through to these other interviews.

But I am a worrier.
