    A few beers were had, yes. There is some really great advice on these forums - the best being 'be yourself'!

    I spent quite a bit of money on interview advice books. The volume of information in them was overwhelming. I decided to ignore most of it and simply do plenty of research on the company and answer questions the best I could. I think they appreciated that.

    Even the flunked technical quiz wasn't a problem - I think I demonstrated an ability to learn what I don't know.

    Thanks All,
    Barry

    Congrats on a job well done (so to speak) and its not just about your ability, a key factor i think in most companies is will this person 'fit' in with the environment and people he/she will be working in/with.

    BTW when do you star tyour new job?

    Thanks Manic. The recruitment guy told me that this company is more interested in getting the right person than someone who perhaps knows something that can be taught, which is reassuring.

    Not sure when I start - just sorting out references at the moment.
