Thinking about creating a podcast style intro to all the units of work I teach at A Level that frames the importance of the content in the bigger picture of the qualification and the tech industry or society. Atm it's me procrastinating. I'm a bit nervous about actually doing it. Not sure why...?
@noeldemartin @dajbelshaw colleagues of mine suggested it. I think it's about preparing yourself to be good in the panel situation etc. to take the pressure off. I would never attend an interview, practice or otherwise, feeling under-prepped. All you mention is important. Ultimately you cannot expect to be so awesome that you can force their hand. Often the requirements can be so broad that you have no idea what they are after.
Out running this morning and my feet were sore as trampled kittens from the gnarly roads. A moment of pleasure struck when a yellow butterfly started flying alond side me. It kept pace with me for about 100m. The moral of this tale is that I run as quickly as a butterfly flies. #barefoot #barefootrunning
