Do you have any tips for me?
The job interview is for 'Homecare Pharamacy purchasing assistant'. All I really know is that it is a financial role where I will be seeing lots of invoices and inputting data onto Microsoft excel.
I've never done anything like this and clearly stated this in the interview so I'm quite shocked to have an interview.
I'm currently a receptionist on a Labour ward so the only similarity is that it's within the NHS.

Recommended Answer:
Okay, so if you're a receptionist you must have experience in data entry, right? You must also know or have used Microsoft Office / Excel as well, right? If this is the case you have nothing to worry about, they (Homecare Pharmacy) will bring you up to speed on what your duties will entail. If you do not have experience with data entry or Microsoft Excel then you really should NOT go to the interview... you would only end up embarrassing yourself and wasting the interviewer's time.
The Comic Tragedy of Job Interviews
- hey hun
the job i have now, i had hardly any experience for. they asked for Audio typing, minute taking and stuff and i havent really done any of those things!! you learn on the job, the bits you think will be the hardest are often the easiest (i almost cancelled the interview because i hadnt dont audio typing).
tell them how much you want to learn and progress. if anything, go to the interview for experience :) you never know. i didnt think i had a shot at getting this job, yet here i am 10 months later doing what i love :)
good luck xxxx - You will do fine.once you get in and get the hang off everything,you'll laugh at the fact that you worried so much.but I know that it is scary to start any new job but not to worry. if they like you great and if not,thats okay too.but I'am sure that you'll do fine. hold your head up and believe in yourself and keep repeating..." I can do this". and you will. and praying to God helps too!
