Over Teams prepare your background so they see what you think they want to see - no smutty calendars! Also you can put crib notes on post-its around your computer screen as they won't be able to see them.

Have a look at STAR answers and try to use that method where you can. You set the scene, the task, the action you took and the result. Sounds complex but it can keep you on track. Again take advantage of it being over teams and keep notes.

Also don't be afraid to have notes in a notepad and refer to them if you find that easier.

And be ready to cut the power off, if things get difficult

Have got a job interview on Monday through Microsoft Teams, never had an interview in my life ?
Any advice greatly received, it’s a job I really want, so fingers crossed ?

At some point you need to be memorable. Whether that is an answer, a shirt, tie, whatever. If they are interviewing a number of people, how can you stand out? (I blew this answer in one interview. I was asked to say something so that the interviewer could remember me out of 30 odd candidates. My answer was rubbish, I knew it was rubbish. I asked what was the best one. Someone had said Billy Connolly. No relevance but it worked)

Also, the worst, most hateful question, 'where do you want to be in 5 years?'. (The answer is neither retired nor in your job but I don't know what a decent answer is. Google your options and be prepared)

Best of luck.

The left knee responding to the strengthening exercises I've been given.
An arthritic flare up is whats happened by all accounts and it could take a few months to fully get rid of.
But it's responding, pain is less, I can walk more...just as well as I'm playing golf next week.?

First Dominos pizza in months and months. Unhealthy of course but you can't beat that first hit of cheese and pepperoni. Overly stuffed now but so worth it

I've got a BMW 335d M Sport which is 308BHP and 465lb/ft torque, the remap will take it to a (claimed) 400BHP and 570lb/ft. Reports suggest that it will comfortably keep up with an M3 in real world driving conditions.

Nice! I had an early history of remapping cars, starting with an Subaru STi, a BMW 330d Touring, a BMW 535d Touring and then Audi 1.9 TDi. The remap of the 535d was the best. I bought the car stock and was a bit disappointed with the performance. I got a REVO map and the result was amazing. So much pulling power in the mid range. If it’s the same for you, you’ll love it! I don’t remap anymore, but if I keep my current car at the end of the PCP, I may just revisit that decision for some bonkers bhp!

Christmas decorations are up! I think I’m more excited than the kids!

I was caravaning in Weymouth back in September and we spent a great few hours at Portland.
Might be going back in July for a cricket tour (not that I play anymore)
