PCD week begins with Snow!

Does this picture look like a road near you?!
It is snowing and the UK has come to a halt. I am not sure that accounted for the low attendance at the Business Writing course today (that was in fact better than I expected) but did account for the cancelling of the BT recruitment fair tonight.
It is a strange week, Personnel Career Development (PCD) week. The focus is on softer skills but also about honing techniques for some of the more challenging interview programs that will be facing us (hopefully) in later months. Tomorrow is a session on assessment centres and Wednesday on Case Studies i.e. the right way to answer the question: “So how many pigs are there in China?” … my guess is not to say: “I will just check on Wikipedia!” – the latter apparently being a serious no-no.
