No it isn't difficult its a piece of P**s but unless you have actually rolled out office 2007 they won't consider you. Did consider twisting the truth as my previous company did roll it out but I'm not interested in London I'm a South Coast Girl.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIs that really difficult?

Phone has been ringing off the hook this afternoon.

I think some of the big ClientCos went over the top with their clear outs at the beginning of the year and now need to hire again.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

FFS!!!!!!!
Twice this week I've discovered job ads that were a perfect fit only to be told they've submitted enough CV's, both times the job had been up less than 48 hours. How can the client be getting the best people for the job?
Getting ******* angry about this now.
The market is tulip, the people we have to deal with are *******, I ******* hate this game now.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
