I'm on a shortlist of 3, to be decided next week.
Not really feeling confident as against two Aussies, just hope that they're not in the plumbing game if they are I doubt I'll get it.

Any useful tips?

(Sorry Fraser for criss-crossing your thread, I won't do it again, promise! And BTW, good luck at your second interview, you could always test them to see if the rate is negotiable!)

Christmas is a long time to wait isnt it? Couldnt Rachel look at getting casual work while you're job hunting? Might take the pressure off a bit?
Good luck
