Interview tomorrow

Hi! I have an interview tomorrow, and it's my first interview ever. I have a 45 minute slot and, I've heard that it's not going to fill that entire slot, but it's still making me nervous. I've prepared STAR method answers to only 5 questions and I'm wondering if that's even close to enough? How much more should I keep going? Am I possibly even doing too much?? I don't have much experience at all (had one work placement at school, and honestly struggled a lot mentally throughout school so I didn't apply myself so even my experiences there are limited) therefore I'm finding it difficult to not write about the same things over and over again. I'm pretty worried that I'm going to be super repetitive and, while they know I have limited experience, it's going to make them not want to hire me.

Is it really going to be that difficult as I'm making it seem? The 45 minute slot is frightening me a little bit. I've read it's mostly going to be availability checking, which thankfully for me, I'm available literally all the time since the McDonalds is in walking distance and I have no other obligations whatsoever. But, again, the time slot makes me think it must be more than that. Any advice at all? My nerves might need calming more than anything. Is there anything I should be considering that I haven't? Do I need to take my National Insurance Number? Thanks in advance.

Hey! I have an 16GB 5060 Ti combined with an Ryzen 7 5700X and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I got my pc earlier this month and it was my main priority considering the rising prices of everything. I have been gaming on it at 1080p 60hz on my monitor and of course, at that resolution and framerate, it's fantastic and a ridiculous upgrade from my previous computer. I knew that, after getting the PC, that I would want to upgrade my monitor. 1440p seemed like a no-brainer as the next step up, however I've been seeing people say that it's not a great card for that.

I am really enjoying the experience of being able to play everything I want on ultra at 1080p, and I'm worried that the sacrifice I will have to make in the settings of games will lower my enjoyment of 1440p. I know DLSS can help but I'm generally not a fan of my games being blurrier, but I reckon that it might not even be that blurry at 1440p anyways?

I don't play many new games but I may intend to on this PC at some point (big fan of horror games, so I will be trying RE9 at some point - for anyone with experience with this game on this card at 1440p, please let me know about it). I was pretty excited about re-experiencing some of my favourite games in 1440p too. Do you think the upgrade is worth it for me? Should I give it a go and consider refunding if I'm not a fan? If this card and resolution isn't great for future proofing, I could always go back down to 1080p monitors if need be.

Happy Alien day! I live for this game so even if it doesn't live up to what I hope, I'll definitely be putting more hours in it than the average person.

How many hours do you have on Sevastopol?
