Because he is both generous and bored, Mr Baskerville would like to share the extensive knowledge he has gleaned in his long years working in the print industry. He hopes it will help anyone looking to emulate his stellar career.
• Do not attend an interview after smoking a spliff
• Vodka and orange is a perfectly acceptable lunch
• The client is almost never right
• Dot gain can explain all mistakes
• Always exaggerate the time even the simplest project will take, so you can piss about and go out for coffee/drinks without worrying about deadlines
• Always dress appropriately (ie no pyjamas)
• Try to develop a tropical disease, so it can 'flare up' when you need a sickie
• Pretend you love your boss's dog, even though it stinks like poo
• Develop a hobby you can pursue at work (learning a language, reading all the Classics, write a novel)
• Do not blog at work when the publisher is standing behind you
Mr B would be grateful for any advice his reader may offer, as he's always looking to climb that career ladder.

Some interview advice for Mr B.
INTERVIEWER: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
YOU: Well, my weaknesses are a vague grasp on reality and the inability to distinguish between fact and fiction.
INTERVIEWER: And your strengths?
YOU: I'm Batman
I am using this. Thanks McWank!
