Didn't get the job...

I've just had an email to say I didn't get the job with Premier Nutrition which I'm gutted about, though it's not all bad news...

Unfortunately on this occasion you have not been selected, however Dr P*** really wanted to express his enthusiasm for your application and at how well you interviewed. He has suggested that you would be suitable for consideration for our Graduate programme – so please look out for an email from them.

I will also keep your details on file should other suitable roles become available, unless I hear otherwise from you.

Second interview with Premier Nutrition

I've just been to a second interview with the Nutrition Director and the Sales Manager of Premier Nutrition for the Transition Cow System Developer job.

I think the interview went really well, I answered all the questions and got on with them both really well so it just depends on how the other person interviews.

Last week Andrew emailed me a link to the apps they use with three demo farms set up on it and asked me to prepare some comments based on the score generated and implications they may have for the farm.

I went through each demo farm with my notes from last year, did some reading online and then made a list of comments with examples.

Then went through the comments and suggested what could happen if the issues weren't resolved.

At the interview they went through how the company car scheme works, the geographical areas we could be covering and working hours. They also asked when I'm available to start which is pretty much straight away!

I'm down to the final 2 candidates for the job so I guess now its just a waiting game!

Transition Cow System Developer Interview

I applied for a job with AB Agri last week and have just heard that I have an interview!

The job title is Transitional Cow System Developer and from what I've gathered it means driving round various dairy farms to look at nutrition, body scoring and other data collection to pass on to the nutritionists. Transitional cows are defined as the period of 3 weeks before she calves through to the three weeks after calving.

It sounds very similar to the research work we did on the uni farm, only with Dairy cows and it would be working on UK wide farms!
The job is well paid, includes a company vehicle as I could be in Devon one day and Durham the next so would be really exciting.

Premier Nutrition are a massive company so even though its only a 12 month contract there could be an extension or scope for other work after that.

Anyway, I've just been to have my hair cut and the suit is ready for tomorrow morning!
