I have an interview for a job...

Isn't NZ the most car dependant nation on the face of the planet? I'm pretty sure it is, though my wife spent time there and tells me we should think of moving there at least once a week.

Well done on getting the interview anyhow, that is an achievement in itself nowadays, and as it's a phone interview you'll be able to do it while masturbating!

What type of phone lines do you call

Hope it goes well FM, it's a great country and there will be the odd game of good rugby to watch. The south can be a bit cold and windy in the winter though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now in this day and age you'd have at least thought they'd be into the relms of a web cam interview. Especially considering your area of expertise

Hope it goes they way you want. I, for one, will sorry to see you go but I'd get a huge thrill out of the thought of a thoroughly decent bloke getting on in the world

Um, I think they have the internet in NZ too nowadays!

 

[redcogs]

Be composed, be self assured, be attentive, be knowledgeable, be friendly, be reasonably assertive.

Above all things though - do not offer a photo, or go anywhere near the lens a videocam.

For obvious reasons

When you get the job i trust that you will organise a leaving do at a suitable venue and invite all your friends and supporters.

i know of a rather nice telephone kiosk in Pennan which should fit the bill.

Hope it goes well FM.

Cheers, people. It's week or so yet... I was just excited.

Oh, Keith - believe me, the North Island of NZ is substantially warmer than the north-east of England!

Good luck FM - I belive Simoncc is putting in a word for you.

 

[zimzum42]

Good luck.

My second interview for the Singapore job i just got was over the phone. Terrible line, but it went ok. Best bit was I was wearing just shorts and a vest, and could keep an eye on the cricket all the way through!

Excellent. Singapore should be interesting, especially from the point of view of the work I do. Fantastic food by all accounts. I know a couple of guys who work in the University but I'm not sure I'd want to live there though (for much the same reason that I find it interesting!). My parents met there in the 60s, but its very different these days...

My youngest son spent last summer there and tells me that mutton pies are the staple food.

Good Luck FM, NZ sounds great. My boss is a Kiwi and one of the nicest people I've ever met, when he describes "home" I wonder WTF he's doing here?

You often get that - its just the grass is greener scenario !
