About 2 months ago I had a phone call from a recruitment agent who had been recommended to contact me by some unknown person. Now I get these calls relatively often but this one sounded a little interesting.
I keep my eyes to the ground as far as interesting jobs go but have not been actively looking to change, however this role sounded suitable and interestingly would be based out of Copenhagen.
A few weeks passed and I took a phone interview. A few more weeks later and they have flown 2 people over to meet with me in a central London office to give a face to face interview.
At the start this sounded interesting and like a bit of a challenge. Now I am getting nervous that I just may get the job. To be honest it scares me a little. I like the idea of working abroad but am wary over the social opportunities available to me in a country where I wont (at first) speak in the native tongue. I also have concerns regarding the fate of my current precariously perched company. If I leave it may just be enough of a shock to sink them, which isn't what I want.
I have told one of my colleagues and am also a little worried about triggering a fleeing of the ship's rats now it is known I am doing the interview.
I am probably crapping it over nothing, however I do find it sort of strange I can go from treating it as a challenge and a bit of a giggle to suddenly feeling very cautious and almost worried that it may actually be offered to me.
I am more nervous that I will be offered the job than if I mess up the interview.
I must thank dbmtb who has been enormously helpful in various PM's quizzing him about the country.
