Oh well done that man!
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Then after they see you are quite good, they can direct you to an agency and tell the agency to hire you for them.
Nice work Menelaus

Menelaus the company has developed and patented a method for stress testing portfolios of building society debt and whilst small building societies wouldn't want to pay extortionate rates to KPMG and the like because I can deliver it faster, better and cheaper (specifically, fixed cost) I'm expected to get pick up on this basis.
