They've flown you in specially from Dublin for this interview - looks like you're the man for the job. All you have to do now is knock 'em dead from the get-go. You have extra copies of your CV, and even a couple of colour demonstration charts in a neat little folder.
But you've been a long time now stuck in the waiting area, and there's uproarious laughter coming from the interview room. Suddenly the door bursts open and a familiar figure sweeps out. It's that arrogant swine O'Toole from accounts! Dammit - he's obviously in for the job too. And what is that fancy chrome thing in his hand?
The head of personnel shakes your hand: "I suppose you're going to give us a fabulous multi-media presentation like your compatriot."
If only you'd got to the new Compaq MP2800 projector before O'Toole! It is just 18cm high, weighs a mere 1.35 kgs and uses any electricity supply - you really can take it anywhere.
The Compaq MP2800 projector costs £4,500 plus VAT, and is available from Compaq resellers.
Got a gizmo?
