If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve now found out that they’ve offered me the job.
Was in quite a state of shock when she called me to tell me. The basic salary they’re offering is more than I’m on, the bonus (the whole scheme is [...]

Not a lot of news today. The agency called and said they’d had (positive) feedback from N, who I’d met yesterday. But AFAIC (as far as I’m concerned) that doesn’t mean all that much as he’s not the decision maker, just an influencer. He’s meeting the Director (of the corporate function I perform) tomorrow and [...]

Yet another update.
There’s not a great deal to say unfort. I met the guy at lunchtime and we went for a sandwich. Turns out he’s only been there 2 months and is himself on contract. The role would involve working closely with him. I got on pretty well with him (he’s middle aged, married with [...]

I got the feedback from the agency today. Was horrendous. There’s me, sitting at my desk with my personal mobile on the desk, knowing it just may ring, with feedback following my interview last week. I have it set to ‘meeting’ mode so it won’t alert people to the fact I’m taking calls. I spend [...]

I’m now back from the second interview. Unlike the first, which lasted maybe 45-50 mins, this lasted 1h20m.
I was interviewed by FOUR people simultaneously, 2 of whom are Partners. Unlike the first interview which was in a very nice meeting room, but on the smallish-side and windowless (but still very comfortable), this one was in [...]

Remember the interview I attended in the City on Tuesday afternoon this week?
I’d heard nothing back… until just now.
They liked me and want me back for a second interview with one of the senior Partners and also one of the main board directors who heads the functional role I work in (I don’t work in [...]

I had the job interview this afternoon. It went fine. Considering the firm (quite high profile), the location (premium location in the City) and the sector (commercial law) I was expecting to be quite nervy about the whole thing; but I wasn’t. I think the main reason for this is that I don’t know for [...]

I have a pretty big job interview on Tuesday with a major City law firm. I’m expected to do quite a bit of prep. Not easy when I only found out I was being invited to interview yesterday - I’m now about to head to Prague and am not back until very late Monday!
I’ve printed [...]

I had a very good meeting with the agency this morning. Agencies are not all the same. Some are crap, some are decent. I genuinely felt this one was decent.
I was there a full hour and had a really good in-depth discussion. I really liked the lady I was dealing with. They have an extremely [...]

I feel fine in fact. 6 of us went out for drinks to my new favourite wine bar. We also ate, which helped. I had a burger. Mmmmmmmm, was delish, real ‘gastro pub’ type burger, very nice. That and a lot of red wine.
I don’t smoke these days so never feel quite so bad the [...]
