Goat Biscuit Junior

Wow! See, it is worth sticking around, because under all the mud slinging and pie fights there is a wonderful beating heart of possibility here at ABCtales. If we can get past the brawling and fisticuffs, who knows what we could acheive as a community? Congrats Jason, and congrats to Goat Biscuit for showing just how wonderful a thing like a discussion board can be. Instead of giving each other headaches, why not try and give each other a hand? Or failing that give me a hand.

well done jason... *waves vodka bottle*

Fantastic - congratulations.

What a nice post. Really.

Well done Jason. I'll celebrate in your honour with a drink. Nice that ABC has some positive threads

Hi Jason What a fantastic result and well done to you, I suspect the success is 99 per cent down to Jason and 1 per cent down to Goat, but even so I'm dead chuffed... Being a total non-drinker - I'm actually an alcoholic trapped in a teetotaller's body - you're spared having to send me a bottle of my favourite tipple, but there is something else you could do which would help me... This is going to sound very sad but...I'd be really interested to know more about your interview... what questions were asked, did they try any of the tricks I warned you about (ie intimidating silences, pretending the interview had ended when it hadn't)... also which pieces of Goat advice were most helpful/relevant and which didn't work so well? were you able to throw in a few negatives... did you give specific examples to back up your claims.... how did you answer the greatest weakness question... was the interviewer an HR professional or just a normal human being?... of all the things you said what do you think went down the best...any stuff like that... Your answers could help me with a project I've been thinking about for some time.... Don't worry if you don't feel like answering some or indeed any of these questions...it's not a problem... However, if you are able to, my email address is: breandan@irishnation.com... Anyway, thanks for your kind words, and for taking the trouble to let us know the result...you have given me without doubt my proudest ABC moment... [frantic activity as 100,000 ABCtalers abandon computer in search of bucket....] But Goat doesn't care, because Goat has had a bad week and this news has really cheered him up....so there....

I`d will certainly put fingers to keys and try and answer all your questions, it is after all the least I could do, thanks again

So pleased for you Jason can see why your over the moon and well done Goat Biscuit we can do with a few more like you on here. Someone else who I think could do with some praise from us all is Mark Brown he certainly got it right on his thread above especially his second to last line,well his whole thread really, as when I closed my computer down day before yesterday and I did tell one other person, I thought thats it no more discussion group and threads their not worth the bother anymore, time for pastures new although the person I told did try to talk me out of it and I didn't put my computer on all day yesterday Have just put it on now to see if I had got any mail and force of habit went straight into ABC and came across this delightful thread, so who knows...

can i ask what the job was? o and congrats pumpkin. i had a kind of similar experience after numerous interviews and getting disheartened. then i went to the careers service and an advisor helped me. i had an interview the next day and i got the job. the one i'm doing now. unfortunately i kind of wish i hadn't got it but....

I dont mind telling, I`ve left the sweat and grease of the kitchens behind me, put away my knives, put my whites in the loft, and am looking forward to starting my new job as the catering manager for an international bank. Its not going to be easy,but then, who wants easy? you wouldn't beleive the amount of money they spend an hospitality, now I Know what all those bank charges pay for.

oops havn't changed my name from posting on another thread

and again
