Andyw's twin brother. The letter m was added so that we can tell the difference between the 2. Apparently, they are as bad as each other.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here. -
Every BCS person I have worked with has been bloody useless. I worked with one who was the chair of his local BCS group and he was the most clueless person I have ever met by far.
I wouldn't even want to be associated with them let alone let others know.....Comment

I used to be a BCS member in the 1990s, but no clients or agents cared about it. I found the higher BCS echelons too far up their own @rses and living in the 1970s. So having passed the exams I didn't see the point of paying them the annual fee any more and I left.
MENSA are a harmless bit of fun, and they do promote 'using and improving your brain' which is probably a good thing, but don't put them on your CV.
I'm a member of an organisation for my specialism, and I put that on my CV because it means something to clients.Comment

How can I vote? it's an invalid poll.
There's no AndyW option.
Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

What I was saying is that any organisation that attracts a poll that doesn't include the andyw option has serious problems.

I know at least 2 people who have told me that they would not hire anybody that had BCS on their CV, i.e. it's going straight in the bin.Comment
