Interview for step up job- no confidence

I had a similar situation and had to get out of the job I was doing as I was told I was no good at it, primarily due to their lack of meaningful development.
I had an incentive for the interview as I wanted to get away from my awe full manager so maybe just focus on that, I’m sure you will be ok and best of luck xx

Thanks Mattmum2. I think if it was a similar position I'd feel better. The role is to manage people doing my position.

Maybe I'm putting pressure on myself but I'd feel like an imposter.

You will be fantastic, just be yourself x

If you have been given an interview, you are worthy of the position- nobody wastes time on interviewing a no go candidate from the beginning

Do you want the role?
If the answer is yes then practice (several times) your interview technique - make up about 6 questions, answer them out loud and watch yourself in the mirror.
Example:
- tell us about a significant success you have had and what the outcome was?
Tell us about a project you worked on which didn’t go well and what you learned from it?
How would you deal with an emergency situation that occurred on Friday evening at 5.45?
How would your team members describe you?

Make notes and revise (as you might for a test/exam).
Try to use practical examples to back up any general statements and show what changed as a result.

You have the interview, thats the first step.
Preparation and practice, is the next.
Then go for it, with all your heart and energy.
Wishing you every success. ☘️

Well it’s obvious you have first hand knowledge of bad management with your present micro manager. When being interviewed think about how you have been managed. When you are asked questions on how you might deal with a certain situation. You could put emphasis on how positive management will have a beneficial effect on the workforce. It will make you appear more confident than you feel and give a good impression. Do yourself proud it’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Thanks everybody.

I have a second interview.

It's also overwhelming thinking of working in office after working from home. The commute etc as I've got really fit in lockdown.

But having a second interview is a confidence boost no matter what happens

Congratulations so far! Now for the next step ?

Your bullying unsuportve micromanager is worried he will loose you.
Therefore put your energy into the interview and show him what you are capable of.
Good luck ineedamum.

Congratulations on your success for getting to the second interview. Crossing fingers for you!

That is great! You will excel those interviews and get a great job

Thank you.

Well done I wish you success.

Had the interview. I'm not sure I want the job even though it's a great opportunity. Being back in the office, commute and being around people is overwhelming.
I didnt even have any questions, i usually have lots. I dont think it was a good interview, but the best I could do for now. I dont want to do any work which is the real issue

Something more suitable will come your way

Thank you.

Passed the interview, now the tests.

Congrats!

Well done!

Congratulations ?

Great news ?

You should be confident!
You have had first and second interview and passed the tests!
That's more than the competition.
They think that you are capable of doing the job, or wouldn't have taken you so far along the selection route!
believe in yourself.
This is your chance to do the job in such a way that suits the company and most importantly, YOU.
You will be in a position to make changes that will make the job better for you, and for those who work for you, and so for the company. This will make you more valuable to them

AND, the icing on the cake, you will be away from, possibly equal to; or Joy of of Joys, superior to your old unpleasant nit picking old boss!
Tomorrow is the first day of the better rest of your life!

GO FOR IT!

Thanks puzzled.

My job is technical, which I also don't feel confident in due to bully.
The next step is the technical test, hopefully it will be easy, but whatever happens I've done well.
