        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          i went for a job in an architects gaff. The IT manager asked me some general questions then showed my a real problem with an sql query.
          He got me a mega ham salad barm while i fixed his query.
          Mega impressed, he hoiks me into the bosses office. everyone was happy

          then he says to me quietly £350 a day is a joke, we both know that. what will you do it for really ?

          I was looking at the screen, it said 'save changes Y/N'

              How many interviews you attend to get a job generally?

              How would you guess outcome of the interview will be?
              1) No

              2) 100%

              3) See 2) above

                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                      Here's a nice piece of trivia... I've never got a contract I interviewed for but I have been in contract just about non-stop since I started in 2007.
