As some of you guys may recall my previous thread on never having worn a suit, then buying one, only to go through a phase of panic of my first ever 'proper' interview.
I've waited over 2 months and I lost hope, I was just about to start re-applying because the procedure was taking so long and I needed a backup placement job in case anything had gone wrong.
Today morning, I received a call from BMW and it seems I shall be spending a full year at the BMW Mini plant in Oxford, on their latest Software Engineering orientated project. Wow is all I can say!
On my interview, I developed a application in a completely new environment for them in less than 2 hours and they really liked it. It's a new project they're working on and the environment seems nice in an open office. I can't get over it. It was my first interview, I was the first candidate and I was the one and only selected for it.
However, having to move away to Oxford on my own is just really daunting. I'm been looking at a few places and it's fairly expensive in comparison to Sheffield. Seem like I'll be just getting by on my wage. I'd appreciate any advice from you southerners on moving!
I'd like to thank everyone who has offered me moral support and advice on the interview (oh and the suit!). A fantastic bunch, you all know who you are. Thanks!
