Got this big promotion interview tomorrow in London, its everything I have ever wanted in my career and I have really prepared well for it. The question is ; I want to go to bed and get an early night, but I know I wont get to sleep and just be fractuous OR Do I stay down and have a couple (2) of beers and wait until Im am so tired before I retire ? Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: yeo on Monday, January 22, 2007, 23:14:38 do what you like but beer is great,as an alchohlic I personally can't have a couple of beers if I crack one they all go.

It went remarkably well considering it was very formal and structured. It confirmed to me that the position was tailor made to suit my strengths, and the salary and benefits etc knock my existing position into a cocked hat ! I have already had confirmation that I will be invited to a second stage interview where I need to give a presentation for 40 minutes on the process of deploying economies of scale in the domestic heating contract market and the impacts over a five year period that would have on the P & L of a business with a turnover of 125 mill pa. Should be fun ! Thanks for all your good wishes !

Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 18:33:50 well done. second stage sounds a bit to much like hardwork to me though.

I done one last year and tackled it by looking at our expedential growth plan for the next 5 yrs. I then set up a partnering agreement proposal which basically tied us into this particular supplier for a five year period (most suppliers will jump at the chance of long term agreements for the stability of their business) Year one prices were in line with our budget, years 2,3,4 and 5 where all calculated on an escalation table and were incremental over the term of the agreement at set rates above the RPI. I sold it as a true partnership agreement where their buisness grew beyond their forcast on the back of our own success. It worked and is still working and was the first of many such restructures that I carried out.

:-))( :soapy tit wank: Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:29:59 Been waiting patiently and patiently, but had a phone call today to say that the vacancy has been withdrawn temporarily, no mention of timescale or anything.
Pretty pissed off about it because it would have mended a lot of bridges at home at the moment. But in all honesty the longer I waited the more I felt that it was not going to happen. Have spoken to my Director who has had brilliant feedback from the presentations I made etc etc, and he has offered me a National role in something that I really enjoy and excel in. The money is really good but I am very wary that I am going to go back in time when I spent 4/5 nights a week living in a hotel. I dont think, after all of my late nights working on other stuff that the family are going to take kindly to that. I basically lived in a hotel up in Hull for 5/6 years, and the reason I left that position was that Jenna was starting school and needed me around. Well Jenna starts Kingsdown next summer, and I am just worried that I am not going to be here again for her and Lisa Im pretty confused really. The money would mean that we can do the things we want to do, when we want to do them. But at what price ? :shrug: Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:33:30 I was going to offer you my thoughts but then I remember that I've given up caring.

Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:41:42 And you're going to have a cat's Logan's run to deal with. How can you do that if you're away all the time?
Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:42:45 You're getting on a bit aren't you Fred? Maybe you could do some semi-retirement thing and get the best of both worlds
Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:44:52 Fred must be nearly 350 in cat years. Noah lived until about 800 though and he went through an apocalyptic event. Maybe all the people at the start of the old testament are cats? I'd read into it if I had a bible for research.
Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: yeo on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:46:54 Hmmm more money v having a life(and from the little youve told me about Lisa she sounds a legend )
Mind you as someone devoid of any ambition its an easier decision :mrgreen: Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 21:49:40 Quote from: "simon pieman" You're getting on a bit aren't you Fred? Maybe you could do some semi-retirement thing and get the best of both worlds Cheeky cunt :wink: Nah ............ the role is going into all our existing client portfolio and managing a team that will come up with the buildings carbon footprint and then instigate ways of lowering that whilst saving money for the client, then when that is done offer it as a bespoke package to new custom With the new legislation in force it is a no brainer in all honesty. Either businesses comply or the Government will fine them via withholding the corporate tax rebates. Easy business and we are already accredited to undertake to survey and the complaince works Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, April 26, 2007, 22:22:29 Why are you even contemplating it? Hull's a shit-hole.
Stay in Swindon. :mrgreen: Title: Massive Interview Tomorrow Post by: Bushey Boy on Friday, April 27, 2007, 07:43:26 Fred think very carefully, my old chap is a workaholic literally works every night and all weekend (shit being a child) I know we both do long hours now fred but you still have some time out and still are at least at home.
Family coems first if finacially your not struggling at the moment |
