I think it went ok, but won’t know anything until next week (it’s a public institution so lots of bureacracy to go through before the final decision is made).

I dreamt last night that they told me they didn’t think I did well at the interview, to which my response was to point out how their job ad was flawed because I lived up to everything in that :joy:

That’s great, well done and fingers crossed for you. :crossed_fingers:

Haha that sounds like a good response. You could also critique their interviewing! :laughing: Don’t you love a good old anxiety dream?!

Hiya!

Only just seen this and it’s too late for your first interview (sorry!) but I spent a few years doing this in an historical county archive in the UK. Happy to answer questions etc when you progress. :+1:

I know this is a year late for your interview but I highly recommend the purchase of this recently released book from a Swedish Feminist organisation

I’m not currently working as an archivist by the way, but thanks for all your input anyway, everyone :sweat_smile:

yes, it crossed my mind that it might be right up your street :slight_smile:

in fact it’s probably relevant to loads of folks here but
 language barrier. I hope they do an English translation
