So do you remember those University course work questions that had you totally stumped, like the ones where you didn’t even know where to start. In my experience I managed to side step most of these as they were either one of a number of questions (so you pick the one you understand as opposed to the difficult one) or group work so could either avoid or disguise ignorance.
The ones I had to confront head on I had plenty of time to prepare for and generally could fudge my way through with a bit of rhetoric and some misquoted passages. Clearly I got away with this approach as I got my qualifications.
However, those nice folks at [withdrawn] have tasked me with giving a power point presentation on the most ridiculously hard theoretical question by next Wednesday. Between now and then I have two spare(ish) evenings (one being my birthday; yippee) and a spare morning in which to work out what I am supposed to be doing (as it is horrendously open ended), research it, put something together, re-learn how to use power point, practice and then deliver.
Sorry, this post is short. I am busy panicking.
Oh, I got a second interview with [withdrawn], in case you hadn't guessed.

What is the subject matter? Maybe we can help.
Thanks for the offer but I don't want to post the precise task on the internet (general work related paranois reasons). Although if anyone knows the legislative provisions for charging for pre-app advice or weighting on planning delivery grant performance criteria that would be a big help!

I think it is about 14 mate. Hope that helps ;-)
Failing that I shall buy you a pint on Saturday!
Good luck with the presentation and the interview planning :-)
Thanks Dave, 14 is er, very helpful ;).
