    Thanks for all the well wishes!

    Am going to go with a pair of "favourite" trousers - iron them really smart, and a formal shirt (whose sleeves can't be rolled up!!).

    Did loads of reading up on one of the companies last night - really interesting what they do, the opportunities once you're in etc etc!!

    The other company is a bit harder to prepare for, as they are support loads of products...going to concentrate on the history, structure of the company, and how i'd fit into that, and what skills etc I could take into the area....

    Really nervous now - got Tom Tom prepared, change for parking, and it's not until tomoz!! :D

    Best wishes and try to be calm, get there 15 to 20 minutes early settle down and possibly as best you can. Lets face it we all do get a bit nervous for interviews but once the interview starts you find you calm down slowly.

    Sell yourself confidently, not in an arrogant manner of course and ask questions that would keep them thinking wow i.e. why are you employing for this role and judging from out interviews do you have any reservations I can go over?. I ask those two questions and the look on their face is like:biggrin and most times almost get the offer at the end of the decision making process.

    If interviewer is smart he or she would say can't say now as we have another candidates to interview or if honest would look at your CV and comment more. Go figure and remember stay calm:biggrin.

    Is it also portable, telling you where to go, dynamicly changing routes if, for some reason, you did not take the suggested turn left? :biggrin
    That reminded me of a dutch commercial. You see a woman in a car and hear the computer voice say: "Now turn left", which she does ending in the hedges. :biggrin

    I'll take the risk if it means saving $500 for something I'd rarely need. I can always print the map so that part's portable. I'll take my chances with traffic and possible closed roads. :wink:

    You have never been in Belgium I presume:biggrin
    What's more, this device talks to me, so I do not have to take my eyes of the traffic to look at the map.
    $500? A good nav system here is less than halve that price.

    Apologies for sparking off this great Sat Nav debate - lol!!

    My Tom Tom was a present - second hand, so I didn't have to pay anything. I can map read, but TT helps me get a better idea of where i'm going - esp when nervous!! :biggrin

    Nope. I was speaking purely about the city and surrounding area I've lived in for the past 13 years. :wink:
