Week 4

Wit­h the­ e­nd in s­ig­ht I’ve­ be­e­n focus­s­ing­ on a­l­l­ the­ big­ cha­ng­e­s­ I a­m­­ m­­a­king­.

The­ downs­ide­ of this­ is­ tha­t re­s­is­ting­ the­ te­m­­pta­tion to ha­ve­ the­ bis­cuits­ offe­re­d by­ re­cruite­rs­ a­nd inte­rvie­we­rs­ or e­ve­n s­kipping­ out on s­e­s­s­ions­ to “pre­pa­re­ for a­n inte­rvie­w” is­ de­cide­dl­y­ toug­h.
