Just be yourself mate.HawBawJaws wrote:Moving on. Got an interview this Tuesday. Its for a 'regional commercialisation manager', covering west/central Scotland. I had no clue what it was either. Basically, shopping centres have those wee pop up businesses, like eyebrow threaders and mobile phone accessory stands etc; rather than sourcing those businesses themselves, they sub it out to this company and they supply and manage the contracts for them. So, my job, if I get it, will be that. Spoke with the company's chief operations guy who's handling the recruitment. He likes me and one other guy, who comes from within that industry. He likes me because I've got more hands on operational experience, across a couple different industries. He says he's looking for a personality rather than a wealth of specific industry experience; says he's happy to train the right person up. He (and the advert) hardly mentioned sales at all, which appeals to me, I'd far rather work for a set salary than scrabble about for commission and have a different wage every month. However, this interview is with the company's CFO/head of sales, so there must be some focus on it. If I'm honest, I don't think I've got a snowball's chance of getting it; but I'll still give it a go. Going to try and talk about my experience running different concessions in different locations, also got a couple of ideas about sourcing new vendors - where to find them, what ones I'd put in what location, making them complimentary to existing shops within the centre etc. A mate runs a wedding directory that's full of small businesses that sell bespoke handmade shit, I can get access to that. There's also due to be a new cinema opening in one of their centres this year, I currently work for their biggest competitor, so that goes in my favour (according to the chief operations guy). Looking for any suggestions from you all that might give me something useful to say in this interview. I'm starting to really want this job; more responsibility and autonomy, get my nights back, potentially a company car, and it opens doors to other industries (which is why I moved from gambling into cinema, so this is kinda part of my long term plans). Also, Mrs bawjaws is desperate to have a kid this year. I'm keen as well, but I'm really unhappy with my current job, so I want to change before we start breeding. Honestly, I'm worried I'd feel obliged to stay in this job if she falls pregnant, and I'll end up resenting her and the kid. Anyhoo, thanks for reading and any suggestions. Oh, and apologies for the length of the post!

If you have any experience as a middle man I would definitely mention it. Experience as a buyer, recruiter, project managing or even experience of communicating in between management and workforce such as assistant management.
From the sounds of it you will be talking to centre managers as well as potential and existing lease holders so strong and clear communications skills will be something they will be after.
