Interview advice

[BarleySugar]

I should know if I get the job on Monday. The micro teach for the sugarcraft job seemed to go well, but I always wonder what they are writing down when they make notes. I remembered to ask if they had any questions whilst I was demonstrating, they both said no, but whether that meant they understood, or were so lost they didn't know what to ask, I don't know.
Still, I'm teaching a sugar craft workshop tomorrow, and have another scheduled for Oct, as well as 3 'decorating cupcake' ones pencilled in by half term, as long as we get the bookings.

Sadly I didn't get the job (the actual interview was for cake decorating, the other courses were suggested as others I might be able to teach). Apparently I didn't have enough evidence to show I had covered the techniques to teach improvers. A little annoying, as I'd made sure I took pictures of the different ones detailed as course content on their website. I have done others, but they have never been requested by people wanting cakes, so I hadn't got photos. The person who phoned suggested I get evidence together, but as I haven't got the job, and there's not likely to be anymore going until next year in the same field, there doesn't seem much urgency. She did suggest I keep a check in case any IT ones come up, but I didn't even get an interview whan I tried for those at the beginning of the summer
Never mind, the workshop I taught on Saturday was well received, the owner of the business (organising different types of craft workshops) took part as well, and was very complimentary.

Sorry you didn't get the job BS - maybe better things wait for you

My OH told me about craft weekends at hotels today. He'd seen something on the TV about it. I thought of you - and then see the thread updated.
Never mind! As VC says something better will come along!

It's such a pain getting some jobs. Hope you get lots of workshops and better luck with the next one.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you land one (or both) of these BS. Very best of luck xx

Just had an email to say I have been shortlisted for a mentor to young adults who are NEETs (not in employment, education or training). Pretty much the sort of thing I did with some of the older ones at school, but on a one to one basis.
You might get the feeling I'm applying for anything I think I might be able to do.
