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.
Can someone clever please make sense of the "zones of control" diagrams on this page. I watched most of the games this season and although we haven't dominated possession like last year - I would have thought our pictorial looks better than they've displayed.
My only explanation is that we tend to pin back the opposition in their half and when we have possession in the oppositions half we don't pfaff about with it too long before there is an attempt on goal. Both these things mean the opposition is likely to have more possession in their half than us.
With Southampton already relegated, come 19:00 BST on Sunday, two of Everton, Leeds and Leicester will be contemplating trips to Plymouth, Ipswich and Millwall in the Championship next season, while the survivor will toast a great escape
The opening para about the Premiership relegation battle. It would be a privilege for any of those teams to visit Portman Road.
