    I had my interview with Symantec as a software developer on their Enterprise Vault software last friday and.... I got the job! I think there were 100 applicants and 6 positions available so I'm pretty chuffed! I get an office with dual 19" TFT's to myself and a unix server to myself as well I think, or a Sun server to myself. The building I'm working in is fantastic, it's very modern and has a gym, pool tables, massive cafeteria which is very modernised and so much more
    Congratualtions!
    Enjoy your new job - it sounds good

    I also hear that he intends to distribute the Socialist Worker to anyone he can force to take a copy off his hands.
    Dont get me wrong.

    P.S. Rave, I dont think you'll pass the drug test so easily. I would check to make sure your water hasn't been spiked by LSD first.
    Hey, thanks for the free psychoanalysis. However, as it happens bus drivers in London get paid on average over £10 an hour, with free travel for you and your partner, and plenty of overtime usually available. That's a lot more than I could earn in any other job I have a realistic chance of getting, it's certainly a lot more than my last job paid.

    Another Perk - travel is expensive in London, this would save you a fortune.

    Well, it would save my wife about £35 a month, and money saved is just as good as money earned.

    i had an interview with argos a couple of years ago, unfortunatly i filled in the application form when i was in the pub so thought "socialising with friends" was a good example of my hobbies and interests. When she asked what socialising with friends included i just "well its getting pissed with my friends isnt it". Suprisingly, i got offered the job she said someone as bold as me was exactly what they were looking for.
