Telephone interview for early 2011

Hey!!
My interview is tomorrow (well today now) at 15:45 with Hannah!!

I applied last year and got through to the F2F interviews in London... in my experience the guys with Yummy Jobs are so nice and helpful so don't hesitate to contact them if you are ever unsure!
Plus after my phone interview last year they emailed me about 10 minutes after letting me know about London! Hope it's the same this year!

Good Luck everyone!
Fingers crossed!!
xx

 

I have mine in just over an hour!! Eeek!

 

Good luck!!!

I'm still waiting to hear whether I've had a phone interview or not. I only applied last week, and I am a complete wreck - Constantly checking my email/YJ - God knows how everyone who applied in June managed to cope for so long without hearing.

 

Have mine in 3 & a Half Hours!! By then I hope my stomach will stop going crazy!

Hope yours went well!
& Good Luck again all!

 

I never check my junk email and was bored today so was clearing my emails, it's been there since the 17th!!!! It's ok i got an interview on the 26th What type of thing do they ask? xx

 

How was it!?? 2 more sleeps until mine! eek!

 

Just got off the phone to Hannah- she's really lovely. The only thing was I tried to put my phone on loudspeaker so I could have my hands free (I'm a big hand waver!) and it got messed up which threw me off for a couple of minutes but I think (hope!) I recovered OK!

All I can say is: relax! I was quite nervous at first but once I got into the swing of the conversation and was just myself it went much better! The kind of questions you get asked is pretty much what you'd expect: questions about you, where you live, about how you'd cope with various aspects of the program. There's definitely nothing asked to trip you up or anything like that.

Overall, not sure how well it went, I think it went OK. I don't think I started amazingly well but I thought I got much better later on and I was actually enjoying it by the end so who knows? She said they have a couple of hundred people to interview (!) and have received over 900 applications so far!!

Good luck to everyone who has theirs today- you're going to be fine! Just enjoy it, it's over really quickly!

 

OMG - a couple of hundred!?!? Wowzers!! I'm a big hand waver too! Lol. Mine is with Hannah - you've calmed me down with that post - so thanks! Glad it seemed to go alright for you! I'm gonna see if I can prep a little tomorrow.

 

Oooo I never got told about how many people applied etc! But 900 isn't as many that have applied before, when I called them in Jan, they said they had about 2000 applications! So if its half as much that's pretty good! But when you thin we are up against a few hundred people, it does feel a little daunting

 

Oh yes!! Especially as there's another interview stage to get through too - so lots of people are going to get the chop. :S I wonder how many places they actually have (excluding drop-outs/people that have been fired/a season that isn't too busy).

You two must feel so much better to have your interviews out the way - there's nothing else you can do until you receive that email. :S Anyone fancy taking my interview call for me? (jokes) I'm so nervous!! Even though everyone has said YJ staff are lovely.

 

Just had my interview with Amy!
She was great, made me feel very relaxed. The phone line cut out the first time she called which totally threw me! I thought it may have been a bad sign!!!
But when she called back and we got talking it felt more like a chat than an interview. The next few weeks waiting to hear back from them is going to be a looong wait. I feel all jittery now

 

Me too! All that adrenaline for 15 minutes! I feel I could run a marathon now lol

 

Well done guys! How do u feel it went? I bet u done well
Relax now hehe.
What do they ask u about where u live? Only reason i ask is cause i live in 2 places as im still in uni.
I have hannah aswell! Infact i have her in 1hr and 40mins ekkkk
xx

 

Ahhh your after me i have an interview with Hannah at 3! Busy day for her
I think they just ask what its like, why you like living there...
You could talk about both and say why you enjoy living in each??
Good Luck!

 

I'm at 2.45! oops did i get my maths wrong? lol blame it on nerves!
Good luck for urs! Yeah thats a good idea thanks
R u nervous? Ul be fine justt be urself, iv heard hannahs really nice xx

 

glad it went ok for you Jen. told you it wasnt as bad as we all think didnt i?
i know! i had my interview on thursday as you know and its been long enough waiting already! lol

 

!

LOL no i think that was all me, getting jittery and making a mistake

I'm nervous/excited but I think once I get chatting it will be ok! You nervous?
Sure you'll ace it! x

 

Hehee you sure did I'm still on my "interview high" at the mo, so the waiting hasn't sunk in yet. Wait until tonight and I'll be wanting to ring Yummy!

When I was asked about where I lived I explained that I'd been in the city for the last three years but now I'm back at home, so I described both places. She seemed to like that I'd lived in the city and a small town. I'm sure you'll do fine! Mind you, no matter how many people told me the people at Yummy were so nice it didn't stop me feeling all nervous.
And when the phone line went dead when Amy rang, I thought I was going to have a heart attack!

 

mines with Amy at 3 am starting to get a little nervous but i've done the phone interview for the icp b4 and got through to the f2f stage so hopefully it'll be the same this time but with a job offer at the end rather than a rejection gd luck to all those who still have the wait to hear back and to all of us who have a phone interview hopefully we'll see each other at the f2f interviews Jane

 

Aw that was a really good idea, u sound like u did really well!
Good luck with urs!
Im gutted i had to withdraw my application during the interview because they r only recruiting until June 2011 and not July!
So i have to email them again in jan, hopefully this means i will get a phone interview then for def! x
