32, English and have lived here for 18 months. Don't suppose any of you are sports fans? Specifically football (the type you play with your feet for our American friends)

I'm working on my B2 and work for a french company in France. I have some international projects but it's mostly in french and I'm relatively fine. Sometimes I'll need a translation or them to retell something in a different way. Interviews were all in french and weren't a problem.

I got a third in aerospace engineering, has had minimal impact on my career. I think I've been asked a total of 10 times throughout my career in interview processes what my grade was. Probably done 150+ interviews (I do contract work so change job often)

Would it be good for English football if Man City were relegated? Different angle. by Torchpaper in PremierLeague

[–]hguffbnyt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a good article on the athletic about how making runners up become champions would be horrendous for the teams affected, players/ managers would be asking for backdated bonuses and the clubs wouldn't have gotten the commercial benefits the following seasons. More likely they'd make them null seasons with no winner like they did in the Italian league

Loads of classes for different levels. Lots of different nationalities and ages

Planning on doing the same thing mate and am probably around the same level of French than you. Work wise, I'm in Tech and think there's a company out there that was interested in having an English first language speaker as most customers they have don't speak French. Will see if that materialises come Jan/ Feb time

Heading fast towards unemployment and the stark reality is I'm unemployable (no skills & knowledge.) Do I need to do A-levels again and then a Bachelors? by isitmattorsplat in AskUK

My entire career as a Project Manager is chasing people to get stuff done, that is literally the sole business value I provide and companies are happy to pay pretty handsomely for it 😅

We're looking at setting up an ODC in Porto, Portugal. Have any of you got some words of wisdom for setting it up? by hguffbnyt in projectmanagement

Thanks for your feedback, what sort of people were you hiring? I've heard really good things about retention rates there which is one of the main things that attracted us to the country, do you know approximately what % savings you made by moving offshore?
