    I've been told that my interviewing technique is akin to a "fireside chat" by some of the candidates I've recruited in the past. Seems to work though - the successful candidates are all people I would be more than happy to work with again.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      I think it went pretty well

      It occurred to me last night that the client didn't make any notes - we just chatted, really. However, there was some other guy after me, and as we all know, people tend to have stuff crowded out of their head by new information, potentially leaving me at some disadvantage in the memory stakes.

      So I'm going to send him an email - just the usual "Thanks for seeing me, if your techy guy has any additional questions he can email me or call, blah blah" stuff, the idea being that this will get his memory focused back on me. If I send it on Sunday evening, so that he sees it either just before he goes to sleep or when he starts work on Monday, it should get me back to the front of his mind as he makes his deliberations.

      Cunning, eh?
      Do it, I've done that a few times and I've always got the gig. May the force be with.
      That boy go raaaaaaa

            Hmmm, now that is interesting - not the one I expected. That's an unusual change of direction for them with respect to their arrangement with JLR.

              There is only one reply to the kind of arrangement.

              Seriously.
              F*** Off!

                Now it all makes sense.

                    Though I'm not sure a lady should utter such profanities, then again when Mrs Diablo loses here temper she can unleash words that even I wouldn't think of saying.
