Mystery job, revealed! | ryuuzaki's Blog

I just had the mystery interview.  It turned out to be at a place called "Sackville Place Business Park" and it was probably one of the more interesting experiences of the last few weeks.

Sackville, it turns out, is an area that is so close to my home that I must have walked past it a hundred times and never noticed it.  If you're ever in Norwich, you should try and find it, or maybe it just appears magically.  Halfway down Magdalen Street there is a small arch with "Sackville" written over it.  The building through there is an old Victorian red-brick affair that ranges somewhere between the workhouse from Oliver Twist and Gormenghast mansion on the creepy scale.  Inside, however, it is an incredibly modern building compromising of offices belonging to many different businesses.

My interview, it turned out, was for a job in sales and marketing offered by Marketing Enterprises UK, the people who run the advertising campaigns for Sky TV and American Express amongst others.  As the other people at the interview all had great qualifications, I'm not that hopeful.  It wasn't a real interview but a screening process.  I'll find out if I've been shortlisted for a proper interview by Monday tea-time.

But still, it was a great experience just to learn of that awesome building's existence.  Must remember to go back and photograph it at some point!

Oh, also, Aviva emailed me back today.  Apparently, I have lots of strengths but none that are suited to the job that I applied for with them.  Also, I shouldn't be detered from applying for different roles with them in the future.  Oh well...
