Stress about the presentation is on a steady upwards curve. Particularly as I shall be away all next week which really means it should be finished by the end of this week.

In the meantime I've confirmed my attendance at the interview. In addition, they'd requested a third reference. This is tricky as I've only had two professional posts. I can only really think of a character reference from a friend (if you're reading this: you've been warned!) or from the foreign head of a volunteer organization I worked for nearly two decades ago.

I'm not entirely clear how either would be especially useful for the particularly task at hand, but I did suggest they let me know what they did want if neither of those was suitable. I understand one reference has been taken up already.
