I've been working at this call centre for over a year as an interviewer. I'm an excellent interviewer. Recently a position as a Quality Assurance Monitor came up and I applied for it.

I got an interview! My interview is on Weds. I'm really anxious about it. It doesn't pay that much more than I make to start, but it leads to a supervisory position which pays more.

I've been researching job interviews yesterday and today. I'll continue to prepare for it this long weekend.

Anyone have any tips for me?

I asked several supervisors and even the manager for advice. They were very helpful.

Do you think it was a good idea to talk to them about it?

Congratulations Greensleaves - that's awesome. And I think it was a great idea to ask other people about the job - it's good to get as many different perspectives as possible. Interviewing is nerve wracking, i find doing deep breathing exercises helps me to calm down before hand. One piece of advice I'd give you is to have 5 or 6 questions ready, maybe even written down. Interviewers like it when you have questions - it shows you are really interested in the position and that you're thinking about how you'd fit into the posistion. It's also a good way to confirm that you really want the job.

Good luck.

I had my first day of training today. There is a LOT to learn. I don't feel like I'm learning fast enough. I really hope I get the hang of this soon.

I got a bad headache with all the concentrating I did and because of all the anxiety I had.

I didn't take a propranolol today because I'd read that propranolol makes it more difficult to learn, but I think the anxiety hindered my learning more.

I'm going to take a propranolol tomorrow.
