    Just Blown An Interview.

    Think I have just blown an interview, did well on the competency side but struggled on a supposed ITIL technical side which was looking for lists regurgitated from the books. Would have well suited me, good candy, 7 miles from home, nice big co, 3 months with mention of at least another 8.....gutted.

    Go out and get hammered. That always helps.

      Drink cider followed by vodka as well - that will make sure you're completely gutted.

              And there is nowt on Jobserve either.

              In 'looking myself' mode
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                    I know, seems that as I am a jolly good chap, that will do !
                    Had a telephone interview some time ago for a job in Norwich, I wasn't very keen and showed little enthusiasm and virtually none of the technical skills required (lots of yeah I have heard of that but never used it). The bloke finished with 'sounds like you are just what we're looking for' !!! Clearly NOT I replied...
