First off, HUGE thanks to everyone who wished me luck, either on here, via my blog, via email and via text. I was SO scared, and I really needed it - couldn't have done it without you guys!

]So, there is WAY too much to put in a post on here - think it would probably win a dubious award for longest post ever, but I have sent a long email with all the details to a few people - so if you want the full story just let me know and I'll forward you the email!


But, in brief...
- Tough start to the day - tum was NUTS, but got there just 15/20 mins late, and all was well - it behaved throughout the whole interview.

- Was in there nearly 4 hours - the guy I'd be working for was great (the Managing Director), the other staff were lovely, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the company is both very supportive and at a very exciting time.

- The upshot of it all is that not only is he VERY intereted in me, but the package he's offering is way in excess of anything I was expecting - awesome salary (way above my last one, which I thought was good - I mean it's seriously AMAZING), private health insurance, fantastic bonus scheme (which makes the annual take-home pay even more unbelievable) and a company car after 18 months.

- It couldn't have gone any better - we'll be meeting again over the next couple of weeks along with a consultant he's bringing in to assess his own strengths and weaknesses - he thought it'd be cool for us to both see her, and I agreed.



Seriously, there is so much great stuff to tell that I daren't start 'cause once I do I won't be able to stop and I'll tell the whole damn lot on here!! The whole thing literally stumped me, and I've had more sleep since I got back from the interview than I've had in the lsat 4 days.

I daren't let myself want it, because I want it so much. Does that make sense? Daren't get excited about it, 'cause if I did and it fell through it'd gut me. It's in the industry I adore, and the company, colleagues, boss, package & potential for progression are all great - what more could I want?

So everyone don't uncross those fingers -- it went better than would've thought in my wildest dreams, but it's a long way from a done-deal, so I still need every tiny iota of luck for a while yet....
