What my most embarrassing job interview taught me - 'Jobhunters are often asked to disclose their salary history, even though its an excellent way to bake in the lower pay endured by so many women, ethnic minorities and others' Publish salaries in job ads! ft.com/content/3f333a1c-18f8…

Great to join the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of St Margarets Station, including viewing the brilliant artwork in the waiting room, and the mural on the platform by local school children. At the street party, the biggest treat was to jump in Lord Hendy's Routemaster!
