Interviews!

I have an interview for a job in a few weeks time where the panel will be interviewing for 1 day only. I have just phoned for my allocated time and was told it was 10.00am it appeared this was not negotiable. My question is do you think the panel put these times for people in order of who they think is the best person for the job judging by the info they already have or is it completely random? I often wonder if it is best to be interviewed at the beginning of the day or the end. What do you think?

I think that if you're the type of person who thinks like that you're not suitable for the job.

Well maybe Tetjam, I obviously am unaware of my own expertise!

Are you asked to stay on for the result?

Don't matter when you are interviewed if you're good enough then your good enough.

Times dont mean anything, I put together interview panels and sometimes just do it alpabetically or by the job grade, I wouldn't read anything into the time you have.

Agree with Rev, they might have in mind who are strong candidates, but as my hubby found, they picked him over a widely experienced person because he was someone who they wanted to work with!

Don't interviewers get tired and grumpy as the day progresses? Or are they not prone to such human weaknesses?
I think 10.00 is a good slot as you get it over and done and can go shopping afterwards.

I always select in order - The most impressive CVs get the first appointments of the day. However, it doesn't really matter because if you shine and stand out you will do this whether you are first or last. You can get jaded interviewing all day and you are not your best during the late afternoon appointments.
