    Finally!

    got an interview after months on the bench

    Though not so sure about my chances.

    job spec is systems analyst (slight ba slant), I'm a business analyst.... though I'm puzzled as to why they'd want to interview me if they need someone who's teccy

    only advantage is that i've contracted there peviously and one of the managers is a good mate who's had a chat with the guy who's interviewing me.

    Lets just hope the other 3 people are really cr@p.

      Sounds an awful lot like my current ClientCo (Who's just gone to market for BAs for a very systems based project)

      Not in the City by any chance is it?

            i'll just have to wait and see then. i've got the system experience but from a business perspective. I'm kinda the go between for It and the business.

            fingers crossed.

            Last time they interviewed me, i got the gig and then they started making everyone redundant, so the gig got canned.

                nope last gig was supposed to be in change management, got it direct via a friend.
                gig would have been liaising with business and firefighting system expectations, from an underwriting perspective

                this one is via a pimp, just plain ol systems analyst
