Yeah.

Also, I can't view the search box where you can view jobs by type (e.g. pubs, telephone etc..).

At the last minute tell them "To be honest with you, as its such a big layout I just want to speak to my partner/parent about it first" Make out you're really interested by asking them what time they're working till today and say you will call them within 2 hours or something. They will ring you back and hound you no doubt,if you give them your real number so sometimes its best to give them a fake one.

Good morning all,

A very happy Monday to you.

Now, I'm trying something new this week, I'm only accepting MS visits that involve NO spend. Wish me luck!!!!!!

Good luck! I suppose it will only be bank jobs then.

Another thing, They always want to know how you're paying for it and look unbelieving and surprised when you say cash. Tell them that you either just got some inheritance money or that your parents have sold their house and moved to Portugal and have given you some of the proceeds to help you out a bit. Get chatty with them and you will be more relaxed. I fabricate all sorts of rubbish and at the end of the visit start to believe it myself. :rotfl:

I also find it useful to fabricate a whole scenario for myself before I go. My favourite was for 40k+ 4WD's. I needed a 4WD as I divide my time between here & my house in Spain which is up a mountain. Quite gutted when I finished the shops really, I liked my fantasy lifestyle .

I thought it was only me that lived this fantasy life. I so needed those designer shoes for £500 to go with my Prada dress for the dinner function I was going to with my husband. Had to be quite formal as it was a work thing - Investment bank.
