Do you have time to read 6000 words on Geology? (No is not the correct answer to this question, btw.) You can divide them up over several coffee breaks, if necessary.
They are good words, although there are a lot of them. I sat in on this interview and found it fascinating from beginning to end. As some of you will vaguely recall, Daughter got so carried away with this interviewing lark of mine, that she decided to have a go herself.
Very sensibly she picked someone in a subject she knows a bit about, and here he is – ‘Geology’s answer to Brian Cox’ – Dr Ted Nield.
I was most impressed, because he knows about films, too. Unless he’s one of these people who can instantly talk knowledgeably about almost anything. (I’m related to someone like that.)
I had been concerned that coming up with questions would be a problem. The only problem here is that I don’t always know what they are about. But I can nod and pretend with the best of you. Chicxulub, anyone?
(And the upside of her work on this is that Daughter now recognises interviewing as work. Not all fun. Though it is fun.)
I LOVE Geology! So glad it now has its own Brian Cox…
I used to be good at rocks. My problem is I can never remember anything.
I did Geology at GCSE and A-Level. Field trips were the best. Rambling across old quarries, beaches, moors and cliffs with a hammer, chisel, notebook and clinometer, and roaming around in a van like some sort of bespectacled A-Team.
Rocks rock.
Sounds like you. Any hard hat injuries?
Sadly Nick, it’s not like that anymore. During GCSE we had one field trip (which I missed because I was ill) that was only done because it was part of the coursework!! But I did love it at A-level…. Anglesey is a great place.
