I received two messages today on LinkedIn from recruitment consultants congratulating me on my new job (welcome to last month) and asking me if I’d be interested in some “cracking” and “exciting” BDM roles they have available at the moment. FFS, told them both to fuck off, I truly detest these leeches.
Incidentally, my previous employer is still paying for my LinkedIn Sales Navigator premium service, which is quite funny. I’m expecting to be cut off any day now and a nasty email from them expecting reimbursement.

I done 2 before coming home. Both I had 2 glasses of wine beforehand. I was in flying form and had a choice of two jobs.

Be set up 5-10 minutes in advance. Don’t be a cunt turning up late.

Do a test call with a mate and ensure there are no connectivity issues on your side. Get the use of a decent headset if possible.
Get familiar with the skype functionality. Can you present your desktop? They might ask you to run through your CV and if you show the ability to present comfortably etc then its all bonus points.

A silent area, free from any disturbances during the call.
Do it on a connection with no contention issues.

Also google ‘skype interview posture’ and brush up the finer details.

sure you knew all this already :smile:

Don’t listen to this lad @Copper_pipe . He nearly took a job in Tipp only for us to talk him out of it.
