    First Contract interview

    Hi, I am new here but looking for some advice as I have got my first contract interview. It's for a Government Secure department as in a Citrix role and not sure if I need to consider anything specific to that fact. Sorry but I don't have a lot of time as it's todsy so appreciate a quick bullet point list please.

    Be prepared to answer questions such as:

    - Ever been in a Turkish Prison?

    I'm sure others on here can provide other sample questions.

      I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

        I'm sorry, but I don't have much time to day, so you'll have to make do with a few simple bullets.

          1. Don't post serious questions in General.

          2. Don't ask for help and then lay down the response format required, it's rude.

          3. Piss off.

                So you didn't read any forum posts first? You just picked a random forum and demanded people help you compete with them?

                Good job. You could try posting your questions on Public Sector Jobs Advice
