I had my interview for child mentoring today.
I don't think it went all that well. The longest time spent on any particular aspect was on my depression.

I completely understand it, but obviously it's not my best selling point.

Also, I worry that I came across as being too easily upset by other people's emotions. I mean I am, I know it, but I can deal with it. I've stuck out jobs where I thought I was hated by my colleagues. Mostly turned out to be paranoia (there was some mild dislike) but the fact is I toughed it out and it got better. I didn't want to dwell on it because I know they were worried that it might trigger depression in me which of course would mean no-one would benefit.

It was over 2 hours long, and at the end of it I fely really self-centred - talking about me, me, me. Obviously that was the whole point of the interview, but it does add to my perception that I didn't come across well.

Ah well, I must be stoic and accept that if I don't get through then it's for the best. I'll know early next week.
