3PM, I leave fareham by 10, I'll get to dartford by 1

Pheebs · 05-12-2007, 08:34

Oooh onwards and upwards! Interviews are always good learning curves! Get feedback for it?!

Good luck on the one this thursday

SidewinderINC · 10-12-2007, 16:17

Woooh!

Heard back from my consultant today, he's called up the company and they've given me glowing feedback and they've said they're very interested

The HR lady was mighty impressed that I finished their 16 question science test in 3 minutes and only got one wrong

Was a stupid mistake that even if I had kept reading it I would have gotten wrong as I had just forgotten one fact.

I'll know by tomorrow at mid-day whether I have it or not apparently - there was slight confusion about the salary but I've been informed that it's all sorted out and my consultant is still pushing for 18k

I'm waiting by the phone heh.

Excellent news hun

Fingers are crossed for you

Haly · 10-12-2007, 16:22

Fingers crossed for you

SidewinderINC · 10-12-2007, 18:10

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeee!!!

I've got the job

So so so so happy! He said they were very impressed with me and to show how impressed they were they've offered me £19k starting salary! I won't be getting a payrise from that until April '09, but they have said that I would initially be starting on less and then being on 19k by April '09 so I'm getting a little more to start with.

The contract starts on January 7th so I've gotta get looking for places to live!

It's all kinda unreal still, I've gotta call up uni tomorrow and get my references, I might go down there actually because I can drop into my tesco too and get a reference from there.

Oh so happy

WAHOOO!

I don't think they do actually

most companies only offer an interest free loan for relocation, and I have enough savings to cover it anyway.

I don't think I could have a better location really

Congratulations. Hope all goes well.
