      I think we established a long time ago that SA has no pubic sector?

        Yup, I've had a contract with no interview, just an email saying start on monday, and at the opposite extreme a ridiculous two hour marathon "permie" interview for a three month contract at Pfizer in Kent - And at the end, the lady said "Well you seem quite suitable, but we'd have to ask you back for a second interview before deciding". (I didn't pursue that one.)

              Well I didnt get it, they said they thought I was easily good enough technically etc etc but it was between me and the other guy and I just wasnt enthusiastic enough

              OK maybe I wasnt but to be honest didnt think that was a major setback when its for a contract for only 3 months, oh well you live and learn next time Ill get well excited!

                      er maybe, but I would tend to think a permie role is more one to show enthusiasm and excitement. Maybe I was just to matter of fact, but as I said you live and learn.

                      First one so I'm not heartbroken.
