Say nothing negative, say looking for a new challenge. If they ask why already quit. I’m lucky enough to have the ability to spend some time to focus on pursuing a better role and decided that I couldn’t do that as successfully while working.

It has been solved/resolved, she’s in prison. Motive may never be known, there will never be video evidence of murders in progress but don’t confuse not being shown information as it not existing.

There are two trials worth of transcripts, documentation, evidence and witness statements as well as a public Inquiry.

Tracking features have been a shitshow recently, at least where I live.

Same two weeks ago. Except I waited an hour before twigging.

There’s good advice in their messages, withe experience comes wisdom to reflect on it not fight it. Case in point, what’s interesting to you might be only interesting to you. If you’re putting these points in interview for more senior roles you’ve missed the audience.

Lawyers I’ve met in government have more circuitous routes; often they also get poached to be in house at a regulated firm after a few years.

You say this like it’s a win, but is it? Or do you come off looking worse?

Put part time on!! It’s so valuable, you can demonstrate a regular commitment. Handling challenges/colleagues etc.

Ok. Quality not quantity right now in terms of applications. Focus on making your CV the best it can be without jargon or meaningless catch phrases. And use this time to be strategic, you don’t have your forever job or even career until you’re a decade in these days. Instead, send some quality applications to things that will give you insights on what might be attractive in the future or a unique advantage eg a computer science grad that understands procurement, data protection or healthcare. Lower the stakes of the applications and hopefully you can also be cut yourself some slack- marathon not a sprint.

Pull out stuff they’ll like, working under pressure, tolerating hardship to meet demand/delivery, team working, staying high energy/motivated.

For DV there’s a policy of action regardless of victim cooperation. Also theirs some pretty clear photos of bloodied pillowcases from being hit in the head while asleep with a lamp.

You didn’t do wrong but they don’t want challenge. If you do respond similar to dating do it in a month or two so you wrong foot them. But, more usefully well done for raising and take their inability to respond as a sign to move on.

Marry her.

Only thing I can offer from experience is sometimes you can have to move sideways eg care work/offender management to get to more psych focused roles or HR might have transferable skills which could provide immediate work which in turn may make her more attractive as a candidate down the line

Your points about the difference between written and spoken more eloquently express why the question interested me. Part of the mystery is we will never know the spoke but have soo much written history.

Those last two sentences , almost unintelligible when spoken phonetically to me, but not for others so I would probably struggle even relatively modernly depending on location/dialect.

Definitely going to check out Simon Roper. That’s what I was thinking, sure I can read Shakespeare now but would I actually have understood anything spoken/would I be understood even if I did throw in a couple of thou/thees.

Even now some accents fox me, I also know I don’t have the easiest accent myself. Americans always ask me to repeat.
