Chap invited me to come in for a chat yesterday and ended up hiring me. I'm now on my first full day of a two monther in London: excellent rate, fun project, no agent required

So if you thought Twitter was just about other people's lunch, you've been doing it wrong.

What did you have for lunch though BTW?

They really didn't need to interview you. One look at your twitter feed would tell them you know more about this stuff than they'll learn in a lifetime!

Congrats!
