I'm nobody in the grand scheme of things, and I still get multiple people emailing me each week asking if they can sit in with me at various points. If I helped everybody out I'd have a permanent shadow, and if I found time to meet them all, I'd have a 2nd full time job. Not to say I blow everybody out, and never help anyone, but you do have to pick and choose a bit.

OK, ok, ok...maybe 'god-like' was over the top! I was havin a moment.

But yeh, its just like with any employer, a good 1st impression counts.
Thats why I hide in a my bat cave
