Hibster. Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 If someone ever offers you 3 interviews in one day, just say No ! 1st one was OK, typical corporate interview but it lasted twice as long as predicted. Decision by the middle of next week. This was the scum one and lasted 10-11 Then a long gap until the 2nd one at 2pm Arrrgghhh why are all the nice places to sit and read my notes like St Pauls Church Yard full of tourists and parents with kids on half term. They should have been bothering the London Dugeon or somewhere like that I turn up for the 2pm one. Say to the receptionist I have an appointment with Mr X, she looks at me in an odd way. I sit in reception and wait and a chap not called Mr X says hello and ushers me into a meeting room where he explains that Mr x is no longer with the company but he is the acting CEO and so will interview me. It turns out that they are not really looking for someone with my background anyway so we called it quits afer 15 mins. 3 more trains later and I arrive in Dalston, a funky place if ever there was one (Beagle wouldn't like it one little bit). This is a company run by 2 serial entrepen-ooh-eeers (missus). They run the oufit from a huge loft apartment with a mezzanine office that would have been the spare room if the place was put to more normal use. One of the guys spends 4 days a month going round photographing things for a glossy coffee table book that is being published next year (he wouldnt say what) and did the album cover photography for The Verve. Both of them ooozed wealth (kerching) and seemed to be very well connected in all sorts of areas. I'm going to meet them and their new sales director late next week. Now I need sleep, I've been on 9 different trains, walked miles and had 13 voice mails on my mobile when I switched in back on.

Normans_Ghost Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Dalston. Fond (????) memories of Dalston cause it's near where I wus brung up (Acne) Ridley Road market, wonder if it's still there. There used to be a smoke house at one end and my mum would go in and buy the salmon bones (couldn't afford the salmon). Cooked them in a sweet & sour sauce. About the only thing she cooked that I liked. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
