@jesslynnrose LSE is doing so much work on tech remediation and modernisation. The HR jobs site is terrible, apologies, but we have new roles going up all the time. Amazing work-life balance if you want a break from startup chaos (which I was). 42 days off/year! https://t.co/eUQiUgVFuS

I've had a few requests for the deck of cards I use in product planning. Now I'm down to my last pack, I've made them available to download for free: https://t.co/1nQqEqo6te

@SarahLCarter_ Interesting! So then in the interview do you just have a discussion where they walk you through, or is it still Q&A format?

[Tracy Chou 🌻 @triketora]

my task management system is my email inbox and chrome tabs and it is a perilous existence

[Sarah Tan @wistdom]

@triketora I use the FB Lite app partly because it doesn't work that well and so after a while I get bored and close it.
