Good post.

Well done & best of luck with AIB.

Thanks for posting that, really helpful stuff - all the stuff I need to be revising.

No worries guys,
Thanks for wishing me luck
sorry i couldn't remember all the questions :/
feel free to ask me anything about it while its still fresh in my mind!

Thanks man for this. Good luck with your AIB too.

I'm guilty of shuffling, so I guess I'd better work on that before my sift interview

Well done Luke, nice feeling isn't it?! Good advice as well, seems simple after you've done it, but at the time it's hard to remember it all.

I'm also a fidget - but I think as long as you make good eye contact and are not constantly jiggling one leg (bad habit which drives me up the wall) or twisting your hair around a finger (a girl thing - hair up and off your face ladies!) or doing something else equally irritating, then I would have thought you'll be OK.

Good Luck all

Mine jiggles by itself, I seem to have to be told that it's happening. Subsequently stop. Then start jiggling it again without realising.
I am going to have to be very VERY alert at the interview.

That's called a bad habit, mate And it can be broken, you need to be constantly reminded to stop when you start. Get everyone to tell you to stop whenever you start, the moment you start. Just as jiggling your leg without realising has become a habit, so to should keeping it still. This is how I broke a bad habit of having very poor posture (and a bad back as a result). I'd get yelled at by my parents at the breakfast table, friends at school would poke me if I slumped etc... after a while it happened less and less.

It's also harder to do if you cross your legs, as you'll realise you're doing it.

You of course need to be alert at the interview - but I can almost guarantee you'll be so caught up in trying to answer questions that it'll start without you noticing. So break the habit now.

Apart from that, IF I end up with you at the AIB or even BRNC if we're both lucky, you'll drive me insane if we share a table

My mum never fails to tell me about it because she said it made her feel seasick. I might get my house mates to start punching me then, currently they just politely ask me to stop. All else fails I'll wear trousers and not a skirt to my interview and cross my legs

Hopefully if we do end up at AIB or BRNC together, the problem will have disappeared...
