I think most have us will have been in a situation where we have to deal with a client/ contractor who doesn't like what we're telling them - whether it's the fact that that hitrherto unsuspected burial ground on their site *might* slow things down a day or two, or that we'd really rather the machine driver didn't use a bucket that tears everything to shreds and leaves streaks of assorted rubble where the archaeology should be - and that kind of experience of diplomacy is a great thing to be able to tell an prosepctive employer you have.
I have a colleague who interviewed for a military mapping project. It sounded a little sinister...
I take slight exception to the claim that ditch digging is just ditch digging. Especially when recuts are involved.
