No secret. I had, in the miscellaneous-other-crap bit of my CV, mentioned that I'd been involved (as a member of SFSoc) in organising conventions with authors such as (and I'd thought for a moment about which ones people were most likely to have heard of) Michael Moorcock and Iain Banks. The first part of the interview was technical, and fairly hairily exacting (it seemed to involve trick questions, but actually I found out later that I was probably being pushed as hard as possible to see if I'd eventually say I didn't know rather than start guessing - I did). The second part was being shown around by someone else, who started off with "So you've met Iain banks then? What's he like?" He was in the middle of reading Feersum Endjinn at the time and was a fan generally, so we just talked Banks for twenty minutes.
Usually a good sign for an interview, chatting about things like that. My previous jobs' interview involved a half hour chat about the pubs in the area with my boss.
