Or conference papers. There does need to be a commitment from your employer
to your CPD, of course. Mind you, if your employer doesn't want you to do
CPD work... well, that's another problem, isn't it?

It's still a bad system. And it's asymmetric - it's predicated on the
employer having access to more information than the interviewee. Which is a
more long-term problem for us (in that if we solved it, our lives would all
be better, but solving it wouldn't really be popular).
