Default Interview on Thursday...woohoo!

1st interview on thursday... should be good

its for a blue-chip company in the harrow area doing 1st/2nd line support

also it pays DOUBLE what i earn at the moment and they're concerned that i might be slight "over-qualified"

things are definately looking up for me at the moment, ive had a lot of VERY positive responses when seeking work etc.

wish me luch

yeah it is quite far... about a 2hr commute on public transport (dunno wot its like to drive tho, multimap says 40mins but then that doesnt account for rush hr traffic)

but me and the missus want to move over that way soon anyhow, so its perfect

i still would rather have this job colas place has got going tho... £3000 a month after tax sounds "the bollox"

Good luck...FFS dont tell them your current salary, massive mistake in negotiating new salary, i learned this a while ago the hard way, next time I negotiated I was much better......hold out for what you want and dont be soft.

Then you can get your Turbo sorted....

Well pleased for ya Pal and i agree about the wages thing...

May be worth saying if asked how much you earn..

"Well its not a huge amount more than your offering me, but your company offers me better opportunities for job satisfaction and progression into a better position so im not overly worried at this point..."

Because its true.. Its NOT a huge amount more than they are offering you, so you havent lied, youve just worded it to your advantage.....

Best of luck pal i hope it comes good for ya
