Well much as I would like to sit here and feel all superior, I chartered in 2000,
although since I qualified in 1992, I wasn't exactly speedy about it all, but
at least I can use the fact of there being no route A programme available as an excuse.
Along with being terminally lazy, not getting much encouragement etc etc.
I agree with Lesha in that you should only be constructively critical. I included examples
of bad management, and said how I would have handled things differently, but I also included
examples of good management, stating why I thought they were successful. The key is to show
what you have learned from things.
And for those of you still struggling with chartership, I'm here to say that it is worth it
(although it may not always feel like it!)

Oh suspicious one! Rowena got her Charter YEARS ago. I was just lucky I think
in getting mine read quite quickly. I know of a few more who've heard this week
too.

I'd say *constructively* critical. I put what I'd learned from "undesirable"
situations (or indeed colleagues ;-) about how to work. But the thing is not to
sound as if you're trying to be excused from anything because "the nasty bosses
didn't let me do this, that etc". That sort of talk is for the pub/staff
room/performance-related-pay review, not the PDR ;-)
