Tis an aid agency.

I have an interview at a school at Leatherhead on Monday. It says -

"During the morning you will have a tour of the school, undertake an in tray exercise and have an interview by a small panel of senior staff"

WTF is an "in tray exercise"?

I have now discovered that it is an on-line exercise to see how you deal with problems presented in email form ie user support etc.

All is explained herein
Basically it is a question and answer session on a computer. Questions, often with multi choice answers, where you have to check the boxes. Others will ask you to formulate a response to given questions.
The computer then gives you a score.
We used to call such things role play but they are now very non pc.

If you are desperate for work I'm sure that there is a vacancy for a health and safety officer at Nick Towers. Just make sure your health insurance doesnt have a Captain Calamity clause.  whistle:

Just how small do you have to be to qualify as a dwarf?  I've a neighbour who's clearly a p.o.r.g. She walks very quickly (seemingly busy, like) and has a relative, perhaps a brother who seems equally p.o.r.g  rubschin:

I often wonder about their business; they're very well turned out with their smart attire and attaché cases, dropping the roof of their Saab convertible. Perhaps they're in "entertainment" ...

I don't think there is a particular size below which you are a dwarf. Dwarfism is a recognised medical condition, one effect being that growth is restricted,but I too have known people who arevery short but they are not classed as dwarf.
