    I'd worked in not-for-profit organisations before so they thought I'd be OK with the culture. They also wanted someone with broad experience, which seemed to be quite hard to find.

    Oh and I did find out that my leaving present had been drunk by the guys at my old clientco, they gave me my leaving card, when I met up with one of them for lunch (didn't make my last day due to the heavy snow).

    If you are looking for program managers then you interview people with that on their CVs, I on the other hand am a project manager!!!!!

    Well it wasn't a really wasted day, got brought out for 2 lunches and 1 dinner (thank you Zips and Mr Zips).

    A whole day and 250.00 expenses, for a 5-minute dead-loss coffee-and-handshake interview. That's one agent who bumped himself to the bottom of the pile.
