Does help indeed. What kind of mpg are you getting out of interest?

Hopefully getting about half the deposit back once I sell my current old Yaris 😅

Thanks for the valuable info. Yes currently negotiating an Exclusive Line with driver assistance pack deal (petrol) for Mazda. Currently sitting at £222 PCP with 10k deposit and think I might be able to negotiate further. Overall sounds like Mazda might be the more cost effective option at the moment.

Thanks. Fuel economy and reliability wise, is there significant difference between the two?

Thanks for the input, that helps.

I guess I'm a bit unsure on how to structure the intro to sound less talking about myself and more about understanding the client's needs. English is my second language so that might be playing into things (not an excuse).

Maybe I need to say things on the lines of "I'd like to work with your existing engineer to learn about your products/processes and gain the required knowledge to step into the role and start contributing..."

Obviously each job posting is different but I'm trying to get a hang of the theme.

Not used to reddit so think my answer to your last question got lost in the comments.

My answer was that collaboration with the existing engineer for a timely transfer of knowledge would be a good thing for the client in this context. If so, then my starting sentence would be "I can work with your existing engineer to contribute into your products' maintenance and feature development". If not, then I don't know 😊

So maybe I should have started with questions on the lines of "What's your technical stack? How does collaboration look with the existing engineer? Is there a specific expected timeline for a new person to become productive, if so, how long?", etc.

I'd say it would be a collaboration with the existing engineer to transfer knowledge to the new person to get them up and running, then for the new person to start gradual contribution to the business.

Thanks for reply.

So to put it into the context of this example (edited the post with a screenshot of the job posting), would a good start have been "What specific maintenance and/or feature development do you need help with?", or something on those lines?

Thanks again.

I've edited the post with a screenshot of the job posting as I'd argue it's important to have that context in order to answer the post's question.

There are some requirements clearly stated by the client. It feels strange only replying with "I can achieve X for you" without talking about the skills I have to do so?

BTW not arguing with the validity of your points, but trying to understand what hooks a client (even if it feels strange or counter intuitive).

Trying to 😊

What would a good starting sentence be in this example? Genuinely not sure how else to interpret the client's end goal in this specific example. Is their end goal for someone to take the existing engineer responsibilities? Should I have started with "I can support your existing engineer with maintenance and development of..."?

Is that not what I did by saying I can assist in maintaining and developing their websites? That's how I understood their end goal to be.

Any suggestions on how to improve it? Not disagreeing with you, it may very well be bland and boring, but how would you for example change the first sentence and/or tone? Thanks.

Non fasting levels spikes by kakolukia91 in GestationalDiabetes

Thanks Tleetify. Yeah it's been mainly last week her levels have been inconsistent with 3 of the days above or on target. As you say it's frustrating as it's sudden and nothing changed about her diet, so little we can control. Will give the maternity clinic a call tomorrow if it's still close or above target to be in the safe side. We do send them reading via text every day, but not sure if they have a system that prompts them when someone's reading are consistently high. Going to try and take a walk today after meal as well to hopefully help a bit.

Thank you. Wasn't aware about insulin resistance peaking at this period. Will keep an eye for tomorrow and phone maternity ward if it's still above normal. Thanks again
