Post Interview Stress

The interview was a write off..... it all started when I had to do a 30 minute written exercise comparing 2 points of view and then write a brief for the minister, stating our position. First of all Brough would not have been able to decipher the writing, but that would have been a small inconvenience to him, if only the content actually made sense. I felt totally confident in getting the headings right and they were actually readable, which was a bonus.

I used my opening line and got the expected response, which was followed by a hug from the chairperson who is my director. As you know I am a person who needs direction in my life, especially when I am on the road... but .. then, I could feel the slow creep of heat radiating up my neck and onto my face, that made me feel as if I was back basking in the tropical heat of the build up in Katherine. Of course this did not go unnoticed by the panel members who, after a few minutes started fanning themselves and getting drinks of water. One guy actually suggested I take a short stroll. Kudjina!!! Shame job.

I felt like I had run about 10 km at the end of it all and I think the panel felt like they had been in a relay marathon where some one had dropped the batten and couldn't find it....
