Development
Had an interview today with the really really really big boss and one of his minnions, who in his own right is a big boss too.
It was for a training course that was advertised and that in a sence I had applied for out of a sense of "everybody else is therefore I should too" as opposed to this is for me.
I applied absolutely ages ago (I think about four months) and today was my interview. I think I am one of the last to be fair.
I wasn't scared and hadn't expected it to be so formal. It was an amazing experience. I MUST have low self esteem without being aware that I do at times.
Firstly they asked the ususal sort of questions, why have you applied, what do you hope to achieve etc. Then what's your poudest achievemnet and all those sorts of things.
Then explained that the training is not defined, it's going to be tailor made etc. Then it was thier turn to give me feedback, which they described as having a Governmen health warning. One person had told me of thier horrific experience so I was sort of prepared in my head for a charecter assasination, however they heaped me with praise, that almost made me cry with embarresment. Describing me as intelligent (do they know I can't spell)!!! Well respected, efficient and the best operational manager that the organisation has. At which point I felt SOOOOOOOOO embarressed I could have died.!
I also feel so proud tonight. It's unbelievable and a Oh how I wish my mom was still here so I could phone her up and tell her!
Anyway, I have to do a development plan this year and include the points I need to develop as opposed to those I waant to. We discussed my Myers Briggs type....ISTJ and how I NEED to do the socialising/networking side, sdespite this being something I don't enjoy!!
So I have a month to use Myers Briggs to look at what I need to develop!
Bless Myers Briggs
