Those were the days - doesn't happen anymore and quite right too. Chairing five interview panels tomorrow - have got my own next week so will be trying to work out what not to do when I'm in front of the firing squad
Just eaten from probably the very best local cheese board I have ever been able to cheese from... Plus the obligatory wine and petit cafe... Have just managed the moonlit walk back to our room with its terrace overlooking the starlit monts de Cantal... Can't wait to get back to the .
I interviewed a guy for my factory once who had an impressive list of working on some skilled projects. He interviewed very well, and the factory manager liked him, so I employed him. Within the first month I discovered that the day I interviewed him was probably the only day he was sober. He had to go!
My guy brought along a bottle full of fresh orange juice each day which he used to frequently have a slurp from. Seemingly it wasn't just orange juice.
To be fair if I had been pissed in the office it would have made the last three years seem a little less Kafkaesque. Might use that in one of my answers...
Oh you're so June 2019 OFH - I've paid someone to activate the fire alarm as soon as I realise I'm out of my depth, get a friend to sack the panel and we can all reconvene in October when I hope to be greeted by people who will just ask me what I want them to!
It might be useful if you didn't admit to your Irish background. Seems as if you have roots there you are now no longer in favour.
Nah - I have a solution to that. If we changed the term backstop to wicket keeper the land of hope and glory merchants would all approve the deal
Isn't that a silly point? Wicket keeper is too close to the popping crease and knows what is happening. A fine point I know, but you often learn more in a view from the boundary.
