    And there we have it, CUK interview tip #1: "The pre-interview tug".
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        It happened to a, er..., friend of mine.

        everyone stood up to leave, he sat there, like a lemon, unable to stand up.

        I was, I mean he was totally red faced


        mind you, she nipped up, got a wet-on and gave me the job

                On 23rd December we went away for Xmas. In the morning of the 23rd I was tired and coughing and sneezing and streaming. I felt awful and there was packing to do and a 4 hour drive to be done. But I still applied for some gigs that morning. Other people had said "There's no point looking for work in Xmas week, ha, ha!"

                Other people were wrong.

                One of those applications paid off.

                I have an interview on Thursday up in the North West. My first face-to-face in 3 months. And its a PM role in my niche area paying a higher rate than any I've had since 2001.

                And how many people are they interviewing?

                One! Me! Having niche skills does pay off.

                (But I wish the cough would go away. 39 days I have had it now.)
                Brilliant news!!
