What job was the interview for?
The interview was for the Candle Room Assistant position, which I applied for on Indeedon 10 March 2018.
Why did you apply for the this position?
I applied to the Part Time position at Metrobus because, as I am a jobseeker, I have to travel by bus to look for employment opportunities and to get to job interviews. I also want to improve my skills and gain more experience within Customer Service and Retail environments.
How do you think the interview went?
Today’s interview was different, as it was more of an informational interview.
I feel it went well and would be really interested in getting this job, as it is a slightly different job to what I have been in.
The two interviewers were friendly.

I was asked one question:
Do you have any questions?
What else happened during the job interview?
I listened to the information that the interviewers gave, and they gave me a quick tour, where they make and label candles, which I found extremely interesting.
What is the next step?
I will find out the outcome either tomorrow or Thursday. However, there is a possibility of a second interview?
Information about the job
More information about the position This position is repetitive, and requires lots of standing.
Conclusion
Being the first informational interview I had in my career, it was very interesting. In a way, I wish it was more like this. However, a structured interview would be more beneficial in my opinion, as the interviewer would find out more about what I am capable of.

Updates
06/04/18 – I had not heard anything about the interview, so I e-mailed the lady who invited me to the interview. I received an e-mail back shortly after. Here is what she said:
Hi Jamie,
Thank you for your email.
I am just waiting for the interviewers to make their decisions and then I will be getting back to everyone who came in for interview to let them know how they got on.
It will probably be Monday now, as a decision is still pending.
Kind Regards
Carol Vigors
