So I have a an interview for a job I applied for a couple for a couple of weeks ago. I'm really pleased as I've been job hunting for a while and never managed to bag an interview so this feels like real progress.
Anyway it is a job for a mental health and wellbeing peer support worker. This is quite the career pivot for me as I currently work in a lab that manufactures blood grouping reagents and have a very scientific background. It's fair to say this interview will be quite different to ones i've experienced before as I've never applied for this sort of role before.
Does anyone have any experience in a mental health support role or similar and can offer advice on the interview? I really don't want to muck this up.
Take care,
Euan
Hi all, thanks you for all the well wishes! Thought I'd update yous all as I had my interview today a couple of hours ago!
Honestly not too sure how it went. It wasn't a disaster thankfully, but there's definitely things that on reflection I wished I'd mentioned more of in my answers to questions. Felt like I gave some pretty vague answers to some things that, of course, now I think about it I have the perfect answer for.
But yes, a very anxious and challenging experience but one that I'm proud I got through. Should hear back by the end of next week on if I'm successful or not.
Take care all!
Congratulations on getting through the interivew! That's the hard bit done :) Keep us posted, I'll keep my toes crossed for you (I need my fingers to type!).
