    Hector Pottie at Lunch tomorrow!
    I don't really feel worthy. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Do not, no matter how much you may want to, giggle at or make fun of, his second name. You may feel the urge to do this. Fight it!

    Apart from that, best of luck, you do excellent work. Trust in that and you should be ok. And flattery is always good too.

    • Thanks Ian– Concrete1/2

    Ok, another thought on this, ask questions. I went to an interview once and the boss asked me what I thought of their work, so I listed some of their projects and told em what I liked and disliked about each one. He was impressed that I had taken the time to do some research into the company, as not a lot of other candidates had.

    On the plus side, his work is really good and interesting, so if you would have a lot to talk about and it shows your interest in both his work (flattery, mentioned earlier!) and graphic design in general. Show that you're interested, passionate and eager, but not in a sexual way! Unless you are…

      always good to show you know something about the company. shows some interest on your behalf– dtan2/2

    remember that there is probably a very good reason that you are even there, and that it is not an audience with the emperor of Rome, that they are just flesh and blood and you are every bit as much a real person as they are and you will be fine.

    (don't bottle it, in other words)

    • That was almost profound kelpie but I'm going to have to fail you this time.– Jnr_Madison1/2

    oh! and wear mascara, on one eye. That's a winner.

    • ..and play footsie with him under the table, like I did with a teacher once thinking it was the table leg. No lie.– Jnr_Madison1/6
      ..it was a female teacher btw- she was only about 40 years my senior. I'd still hit it.– Jnr_Madison2/6
      bet she could of taught you a thing or two...– kelpie3/6
      Tantamount to necrophilia!– Concrete4/6
      She used to drink hot water from a tea cup and have the odd cigar. They don't make them like that anymore.– Jnr_Madison5/6
      ha ha ..nice pun kelpie.– Jnr_Madison6/6

    Oh, just thought of an important one, try not to let any bottom burps. You do not want to be remembered in that way.

    SEA interview went well - they really liked my work. But they don't actually have an opening there, so I'm not sure why they wanted to see me, they said they would speak to the CD. Haven't heard anything more yet, will drop them a line tomorrow.

    • sea is really nice. sounds like you got your foot in the door. which is a good thing.– akrokdesign

    They are, but there aren't any vacancies in London.

    It is a big move but it's also a big opportunity!

    Just been to see the man himself. I also met Will Hudson (itsnicethat.com) and James Groves. Went really well, and has offered me the role (in principle) in Glasgow. Cannot believe it!
