      My CV has 2 sentences at the end of extracurricular activities that I do (reading, writing, salsa dancing).

      Every job interview they always ask about it, which gives you a way to chat non-techy for a few mins and makes you seem more human. Only ever worked in my favour or it'd be gone.

      Definite boon over boilerplate robotractor CVs.

          It sounds like you and Suity have different approaches to achieve a similar effect on any team.

          At the end of both your stints at a client, the team are crushed and demoralised, and they all think you are both s

            When I inevitably rise and take over a team, the net effect is always positive. That is because I lead by example, and people respect that. I am not a Yes man, and I always deliver. Every client I've had, has invited me back. In fact, my last client was in "chopping contractors" mode recently and they still invited me back - "always a place for a good consultant".
