Paying Attention

Helen tells me that I need to engage more in active listening, then I won’t come away from conversations having missed crucial bits.

At least I think that’s what she said.

The point being that, while we have been invited to the next stage, I got the details of what happens at this stage wrong.

The second stage is, apparently, another formal interview. This time there will be: a formal interview together; separate interviews; a chat with Regional Managers to talk through the opportunities; a chat with the Church Relations Team to talk through finance side of things; and a chat with the Learning Advisor who will give us an idea of what learning preparation (e.g. language training) will be needed.

If we make it through that, then we will go on the weekend, where we will get to know others who have been selected and also to understand and meet the CMS teams.

I have no idea how I missed all that, but there you go.
