Meeting with M, CVs and personal statement…..
So, here we are, a whole year after my last post! I had to take some time out for personal reasons and that year has absolutely flown by. Anyway, time to get back in the saddle and continue this journey. Way back in 2023, in the dark early hours of a September morning my government Continue reading

To begin, at the beginning…

It all started a couple of years ago when talking to my best friend, let’s call him Carlos* (therein lies another story), who had many years of experience in the industry. ‘You’d be good at this’ he Continue reading
