Nervous
I went for a job interview yesterday at 1.15pm. I was a little paranoid (and definitely nervous, of course) so I left my house early, like really early, and drove to GradSolutions. There were a few interviewees before me and a couple after me. I timed them all and they were all interviewed for no more than 15 minutes. Unfortunately for me, my interview session lasted for no more than 10 minutes.
Might I add, I wasn't thaaatt professional in answering the questions.. I said a lot of things like "stuff" and "like that". So colloquial, I know! But hey, it was my first professional interview.
So I drove home and had a video call with mom. While waiting for mom to switch from Skype to MSN, GradSolutions called me! They called and asked me to go in for a trial session tomorrow from 10.30am-4pm! I'm not sure if I should be happy, but I'm more nervous than I was for the interview. Why? I'm going to be put on the spot and I've got to perform well. All eyes are going to be on me when I communicate with potential clients.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, my potential title would be Marketing Consultant.

I'm going to pee in my pants!

I too have recently undergone a interview with Gradsolutions. I too have been asked to attend this 'training' session by them, mere hours after the interview.
Unfortunately im viewing it with a bit of skepticism, mainly they are asking us to attract and recruit potential clients for them for almost 6 hrs, with a supposed 1 hr training only. I fail to see what this has to do with how we would perform in the Marketing Consultant position they advertised. As I certainly dont wish to be recruiting foreign students at universities on a regular basis as my job.
Was wondering if anything has come of this 'training' session? As you seem to have participated in it a number of weeks ago.
Cheers
Tim

love to see this discussion! It’s great to see you all working through the issues and also, it’s great to see recommendations for testing. In the end, it’s what your actual users do and prefer that should be your biggest driver in making these decisions.
