Having sat through a few interview presentations over the past few months, I'd added my views as part of my "How Not to Suck" series.
TL;DR: Donβt answer the question. Close Powerpoint. Focus on the content. Use slides if you have to. Deliver well.

Trying to get on my email backlog over the weekend.
Started with 278 unread emails + a load of other read but not actioned.
End of process = #InboxZero and 41 emails in outbox.
So I had to read c.300 emails just to work out which ones required my attention and response.
Email is poor ROI.

π§΅ 1/9 It could have mattered.
Nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds deprived of oxygen should have chastened the world to become allies, and not just for a summer.
A man being murdered by those who should protect and serve should have been an indelible metaphor.
Pile of books
I was let loose with a book token in @waterstones.bsky.social and a @oxfamgb.bsky.social book shop on a wet Bank Holiday Monday. Came back with this little haul π! Now need some more time off to get though them!
