  • Did you fix the refrigerator or call a repair co?

    Does a landlord?

    How many quotes did you get

    Depends on the position. In one role I project managed the expansion to a new location - we got a lot of quotes on a lot of items, in another I had a soft-procurement role to get various supplies and we’d regularly review suppliers, in another still i worked in tandem with a 11 separate buying teams with separate buyers, merchandisers and supply chain managers.

    Then you ask me a bunch of questions about terms. There were sometimes different contract terms, but mostly net30 invoices or similar that sometimes we honored and sometimes we pushed due to cash flow considerations.

    Did you fix the plumbing? Manage leases?

    Does a land lord?

    Did you speak with property owners

    i have spoken with quite a few people in my time

    Did you create a budget?

    Yeah, yeah, I created a budget on behalf of my landlord. He was very keen to share his personal finances with me, something that often happens in landlord/tenant relationships and is very normal and good

    What kind of depreciation schedule did you use?

    Doesn’t everyone use P527? What else do you need, or do you provide a classic car to every tenant?

    What did you do when the pipes froze?

    Shaka when the falls well. Temba, his arms wide.



  • As someone who emigrated to marry an American - this judgement is in line with my experience. The process was long, difficult, often in jeopardy (I almost couldn’t get on the plane because in the week before I left for the US they were quibbling whether my use of antidepressants for a year which ended 6 years prior counted as disqualification criteria on public health grounds).

    Then, the visa is strictly, only to fly to the US and get married, it doesn’t cover staying in the US or working in the US, those are separate processes.

    I emigrated in my early 30s as a white, professional male born and raised in England.
