There was a nice piece on Maidstone and their win at Portman Road. Considering how pissed off I was at the time , it's nice I can now look back on it almost fondly. Quite possibly one of the most important results of the season - as it gave us rests at important times. Contrast how beating Maidstone and Wolves affected Coventrys season.
My daughter has been interviewed for a reasonably senior IT job (search engine optimisation). She's had 3 interviews with the company lasting in total about 3 1/2 hours. At the end of the last interview the hiring manager said she is then required to do a fairly detailed task - reviewing the companies website. They recommended that she shouldn't take more than 4 hours doing it - and then produce a report at the end of the weekend. My daughter said the task, included lots of detailed analysis that to do any justice would take a lot longer than the 4 hours specified. The upshot was she said she wouldn't do the task as effectively the company were asking for a days consultancy for free and this task was never previously mentioned in the interview process.
Without being too 'mumsnety' were the company being unreasonable? Was daughter justified in pushing back ? Clearly she's not overly fussed about this job but she would have been fairly aggrieved if she did that work and then failed to get the job.
I kind of admire her having the confidence to stand her ground but also part of me just wanted to tell her to just do the work.
