    Spot on!

    And in case it wasn't totally clear: after two weeks I did enter despite the seats were always red hot from the intensity of use.

    I went in because...

    ... I AM A CONTRACTOR

    Really, even after you have followed someone in who has had an iffy ruby, the night before
    I would agree as long as there is multiple choice. You need a backup for instances like this.

    However, in an ideal scenario the no neighbour trap is best IMHO.

    One toilet total is worse of course because of what you mention.

    Which is why costa coffee pees me off. Overinflated prices for a coffee and the buggers build one bog and make you queue up to dispose of it. I often wonder if anyone has ever pissed/shat themselves in a costa because the queue is so big.

    Enough of your project management technique, what about the toilet problems?

    Posh crappers are near the top of my must-have lists for gigs ;-)

    (I've got a hatred of cubicle/partition types - much prefer a separate. One toilet at client has a single trap. Ideal)

    Go to shop, buy bottled water and hot coffee. Claim expense from your company.
    Work, thats why they pay you.

    So no - photos are not a no-no.

    Stop being so black-and-white.

    That's Northern's job.

    There are actually rules of CVs that vary both by country and sector.

    In every country your CV must be easy to read and not bore the reader.

    In the UK photos are a no-no. In some countries in mainland Europe your CV will be binned without one.

    In the UK age and other factors that can be used to discriminate against you are a no-no.

    In the IT sector you can get away with a CV longer than 2 pages but don't do that if you are a office admin.

    etc.

    Anyway as MS said tell the person to go to that CV talk.
