I've got a sort of phone interview in 10 minutes
& I'm really nervous.

I don't know what to do to take my mind off it.

It's not really an interview it's just finding out more about the job, but I'm still nervous. So I'm going to post this & sit frantically hitting refresh hoping someone will reply to take my mind off it.

2. It's a sciency type thing
in New York. I live in the UK right now, so it would be quite a move, but really cool to live in NY (or at least NJ).

5 minutes...

Why do you want to move to London?
I've never actually lived there, but I do quite fancy it. Well I live in a small town right now & fancy anywhere bigger.

10. Different reasons
my bf lives in London and to be able to get a really good relationship I need to move to London. The other reason is that I always wanted to work outside Germany. And I love London and the U.K.

3. The pre-interview call.
A redundant form of psychological testing.

5. I think it's more so the guy can explain stuff to me
& I can ask questions, but I suspect there may be a bit of psychological testing.

They don't want to ship me over to the US for an interview if I'm not that interested.

13. Yeah, I think so
