Don't be scared. Most of us have phones now. I know you're in Lancashire but when it rings just take some deep breaths.......

Dunno, but best of luck and have some Karma!!!

Don't panic - I ended up having my interview on a mobile, sat in a car park outside my daughter's university halls of residence, in the middle of moving her back in at the start of term, and in the end I found it to be more than :scared:

The questions seemed quite inocuous - "have you ever lived ouside UK before?" yes we'd lived in France and Switzerland when the kids were still pre-school, "have you got any support network in NZ?" - no, next question please, "are you familiar with living costs/house prices etc in NZ?" yes....isn't the internet a wonderful thing....

Two months later there was the Approved in Principle letter.....just got to sell up and pack up now

Just relax and you'll be fine !!
Have a hot bath and put your PJ's on before the interview !!!
Have a copy of your cv to hand and make a list of questions that you want to ask them.
Have a pen and paper handy so you can make notes from what they are saying to you {? to use as evidence later }

I was interviewed for a nursing post in just the same manner, sitting there in my nightie and slippers. Half way through the interview the emerency bell on the ward began to ring and they had to stop questioning me while they checked it out !!!

And no alcohol... even if it is JUST for Dutch Courage.
Good luck

So how did it go??

Absolutely no idea. Will hear in 10 to 14 days. Very surreal it was, at 11.30pm chatting to someone that was goodness only knows how many miles away....
