Well I f carlsberg did Job interviews........I was very nervous and when the sales manger got me in the office he said the decision is down to the Kawasaki general manger so make sure you impress him
I thought fook it I'm going to go for it so stood up looked them straight In the eye and gave a 15 minute presentation on Kawasaki and the robot industry like my life depended on it
The general manager gave me a round of applause and said it was a1 first class and delivered perfectly
Loads of probing questions later I left the room exhausted but beaming from ear to ear
I was one of five shortlisted and they are going to let me know tomorrow ,I've done all I can so its now fingers crossed time :)

Sounds like you gave it your very best shot. You can do no more and hopefully it will be more than enough.

Good move on that last slide! If you got feedback like that in the interview you know you've font a good job, and by the sounds of it you felt like you did your best at it too. It's a good feeling walking out of a interview knowing you did you're best.

Crossing everything I can for us mate, sounds like this will be an opportunity of a lifetime!
