I had been granted an interview after spending many hours deliberating over the application form. I was prepping like crazy, my office wall covered in blue tac backed pieces of paper covering topics like "what are my strengths", "what are the key values BAS work towards" and others.
The interview drew closer and the tension grew. I had alot riding on this job and with over 300 people applying for one job was luck enough to be offer one of the six interviews. It would turn out to be unfortionate for me that I was up against my good friend Ryan whom I had spent 3 years studying and even 1 year living with in Plymouth.
For me the interview felt like it went really well. I was stumped a little but some of the diving questions as I wasn't prepared to answer questions relating to full face masks or how to survey ice underwater but generally I was happy with how it went.
Then came the wait... we waited... and waited... two weeks later I recieved the interview expressing my unfortionate failure to succure the job. I was truly disappointed but also relieved to hear my friend Ryan was successful. As we have such similar experiences and education I can't help but feel I was very close. Ryan has had two previous interviews with BAS so this time persistance paid off and I wish him all the best down in the wintery cauldren.
