People applying to CMS (this question has probably been asked before so apologies) but has anyone done that appraisal from their most recent employer? Don’t think asking my firm to appraise me for another firm would go down well lol

Just had my A&O interview and absolutely bombed it. Oh dear
Very easy to self-criticise after an interview. I've had two ACs, one for a vac and one for a TC, where I was absolutely convinced I bombed it. I'd kick myself over things I'd said and micro-analyse my entire performance. Wasn't worth it- I ended up getting very positive feedback and told that I was close to receiving the offer. You'll probably also find that you performed better than you think.

If you're convinced you've bombed it, then I won't challenge that as only you can know that. However, your feedback will almost certainly be more positive than you think. "It's not a PFO until it's a PFO" applies at interview stage too.
