I wasn't clear enough about presentations - keeping it clear and simple with regards to the media that you use ie powerpoint etc Good luck anyway and hope they don't use your audit methods without you!!!

Update
Just had the second interview with the first company (3rd choice on my list)
another 2 hour stint, went through the quality dept/ tour of the company/ and did a session with HR
interesting, after a call from the agency stating no movement on salary, and some other "tips"
it was very different when with HR
sallary fixed for 12 months, but.. and then the sweeteners were dropped in..
annual bonus, (a lot )
pension (ok but contrib )
bupa (ok but not free)
paid hols (good)
no ot but,,, hours over the week requirement will be given back as time in leu ie travelling etc.
and another block of hours coming back for some other stuff ()
and a reduction in the working hours if things go well
oh and the HR managers card, just call me direct if there any other questions
Should know by friday on that one
now to finish my presentation for tommorow, and chase the other one

hopefully you'll be able to choose who you want to work for rather than the other way around! Good luck for the next one!

You can thank Tony later
Excellent news! Hope you will be happy in whichever job you choose.
I'm glad that you are enjoying the booming economy under New Labour and not 10%+ unemployment that we saw under the Tories in years gone by - when I had the misfortune to be unemployed for a few weeks.

I'm now thinking of going for another job ...... completely different to my current role - big risk, but could be a nice change?
Can't go into details ....
