Good luck, and bonus points if you manage to get the word "singletrack" into the interview & tell us about it. "Single track" will do as well.

That kind of mistake has always worked well for me in the past, it means I just have to be myself and removes the prepared answers where I am just double guessing what I think they want to hear.

Lol, I'll record it and post it up 🙂

I wouldn't be concerned, but it's been so long since I did any proper programming, instead of just making up numbers and fannying around the edges. If they grill me on specifics (which is pointless since everyone uses reference materials unless they are some kind of savant) I'll be rusty, but if they are reasonable I'll manage I think.

Swindon, it is. Woods behind Nationwide here I come.

I wish the interviewer the very best of luck. I'll just tell his secretary to let his later appointments know he'll be running late 🙂

(good luck matey!)

Nationwide? Excellent LBS just up the road (Red Planet) and yes the Croft trail is ace for a lunchtime blast, then up Ladder Lane, back down & repeat.

Meh, that didn't go so well.

Not only has my brain rotted a bit in two years of faffing about with stupid rubbish project in rubbish companies, but I've not been using technologies and learning. Bugger.. I feel like a right noob now.

As a contractor never let yourself get institutionalised somewhere, I was with the same client for 13 years I bricked myself when that came to an end. Been changing every 12-18 months now and I now longer fear the change.

What sort of stuff did they want ? If I remember correctly your a Java man aren't you ?
