Avoiding Interview mistakes
Last night, I attended a webinar on avoiding interview mistakes. This was presented by Scismic [1], who specialise in Biotechnology. However the tips and advice given are applicable across a wide range of industries.
This was really good, and lots of really useful advice which I will be using going forward in my job search.
As I first learned about Scismic, from a CV webinar, they presented in collaboration with Overleaf. I have included a link to the Overleaf webinar page. It should be possible to view a recording of this.

TeX Live Road Map
Posting this, for anyone interested in the 2021 TeXLive Roadmap to release.
TeX Live is intended to be a straightforward way to get up and running with the TeX document production system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and also Windows. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free software, including support for many languages around the world. Many operating systems provide it via their own distributions.

LaTeX and Overleaf – Changing the compiler
A question came up on IRC earlier about Overleaf, LaTeX and compiling to use the \usepackage{arabluatex} package.
I suggested that it is possible to change the compiler to use LuaTeX and made the following video to help others with this
