    I like to think that I interview very well, having a background in performing arts I'm not phased by talking to people in these kind of situations. I'm also prepared to do anything they require me to do and always state I'm open to do other aspects of a companies work if need be. Plus I'm always honest which shows, I think employers are more impressed by you teling them a honest truth about a lack of knowledge or skill that by someone who seems to say "oh yes I can do that" to every question. Plus don't be nervous or at least come across as nervous, they called you in so it's them who want you which is worth remembering.

    okso first day was....uneventfull. Spent most of the time reading manuals on the product that my boss wants me to become proficient at first. Still seems like a nice little team and I'm sure it'll get more interesting once I start getting used to the software and start taking calls. Plus I'm sure the first pay packet will be a big incentive.

    Job's can be quite slow to start. See what happens, it'll get more interesting I assure you!

    The social side of the job is probably my favourite aspect... after all the cool techy stuff obviously
