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?

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
