    Not quite sure SF - probably not the best interview etiquette on their part? Job is quite far from home, although it would have good prospects for the future.
    Well here's hoping it's soon! Bit bad really, they should have told you when you'd hear.
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    Unfortunately not. The head of the panel was available to chat on the Monday, but I had a 5 hour ferry and a 3 hour drive coming back from my half marathon :eek:
  • Fingers crossed for you on job no. 2 Ed :) And is it me or are half the people on this board doing marathons & relays & getting personal trainers etc, making the other half of us [STRIKE]well, me really[/STRIKE] look a tad, erm, lazy?

    The right job will find you Ed.
  • You could ask for written feedback. The worst they can do is say no

    Delurking to wish you all the best for getting the job from the second interview. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Hopefully the 2nd job will work out - if you want it to that is :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
