    Interview went well I suppose. I struggled at answering how I'd convince people to buy something, but the manager was fantastic.

    We got talking about cars. He said he doesn't understand people that are happy with public transport. I was like IKR? Then I said I was into "modern classics" and we had a chat about a Toyota Supra someone he knew had. Twin turbo no less.

    And on my CV it has "Cinema/World Cinema" and he goes, so what foreign films do you like? I went "Erm. Someone told me to write that to be honest, I have no interest in films." He then shook my hand and said that he admires my honesty.

    Fingers crossed he's willing to give me a chance. I got the impression he is. But I'll find out tomorrow.

    It's 20 hours a week as well, plenty of over time opportunity so it could be up to 40 hours a week.

    20 * 5.93 * 4 * 12 = £5700 ish. Which is not bad at all!

    And if I've gotten it I'll take great pleasure in telling the job centre to fucking shove their work experience and £52 a week.

    Bastard, I've just spent an incredible amount of money on clothes that I really shouldn't have.

    £50 yesterday on interview clothes and I've just spent like £40 today on some hoodies and some jogging pants.

    I've only got like £300 put away for learning to drive. It's going to be an expensive process.

    Hope the job pans out for you, Dan

    Got my W2's yesterday and did my taxes. I think I've finally made it above the national poverty level

    Thanks. Talking to another friend of mine about it, he thinks I've got the job.

    But no doubt someone with sales experience will have given a better interview than me, and then someone that genuinely knows a lot about computers goes without a job as usual.

    Why aren't we supposed to include the file host in the thread title anymore?

    More annoying for Jack to index them on his new listing system, or something.
