Little things that you do

Interviews are like exams, and the same rule applies when you come out of one: do not relive it. In the case of exams don’t rush to your books to see if you got the answers right, and with interviews don’t kick yourself thinking of the things you should have said, the questions you should have asked (like the salary!) or start wondering if you checked that final figure in the test – did you deduct that £100 or not? When it’s over it’s over, and there’s nothing you can do to change it so it’s best put right out of your mind. (I still think I left that 100 in, though. Poo. I won’t go and buy suitable shoes tomorrow then.)

The Boy has an interview tomorrow, as a landscaper’s labourer. It seems such as waste for a bright boy but it might help him gather his thoughts on his future. Having his car tax reminder in the post has helped concentrate his mind on doing something. He’s also aware that his hair might be a handicap in the interview stakes because people are usually judged on first appearances, and he said that it might be sooner rather than later that I’ll be allowed to remove the dreads!
