Congrats. I think you are still yet to experience the real rigors of proper work though Data centers may seem cool and all when your 18 but after a while the air conditioning starts to get annoying, so much so that you will wear a coat in the summer, along with the constant hum of airflow.

He probably put his CV on Monster. That site always gives the impression of being head hunted because you get about 10 phone calls per day from agencies all over the place.

..even if you specify your location as the midlands and willingness to commute a reasobale distance, you still get calls from agencies in North London!!!!!

Get a life, really.

Why can't you just be happy that he's got a job that he's obv. chuffed to pieces with? I still can't believe you went on facebook with the sole purpose of trying to get dirt on him to post here, that's just sad imo and I feel kinda sorry for you in a strange way.

no need at all to apologise to the sad facebook detectives who have nothing else to do in their life.

congrats on the job.

and there's me at 39 and signing on at the JC this afternoon for the
1st time

Congrats to you, lucky sod

Morba · 19 Feb 2009 at 21:09

Just be honest next time. Hope you didn't lie in the interview like you did here.
Also, now that you are admitting to exaggerating a bit, why not be honest about the job role ;]

Angelos_n · 19 Feb 2009 at 21:15

hehe i am being honest about that

, and please can you remove my pictures

Morba · 19 Feb 2009 at 21:21

why remove the pictures? they are public and can be seen by anyone.

Ah well, given your admittance to lying, i dont believe you, but thats up to you :]

tbh I don't really believe him, buit to go to the length of doing some research on the guy is just weird.

no Arabs they are greek and the company is a multi billion dollar company, its part of the Lyras Shipping Group the owner hsa a net worth of over 4 billion, so yeh, and i should be working at the moment. I didnt get this job through an agency either, was the fact that i know somone within the company, and the head of IT kindly interviewerd me and trialed me and i passed. as they say its not what you know, its who you know.

Much love

Congratulations, but I also must say that whoever told you this is telling you porkies.

I can't believe I had to do this, but I ran a credit report for your company:

There is no parent company
Tangible Net Worth: (£900,053)

I'm not even gonna get into your Balance Sheet or P&L accounts.

Let's just say there's a lot of red numbers...

Morba · 19 Feb 2009 at 21:33

completely agree suarve, but some people need to do that to feel useful / big / whatever :]

panthro · 19 Feb 2009 at 22:00

Congrats on your new job. I dont even know or care what you do, how much you get etc, but its good all the same especially during this period when more and more people are hunting for jobs.

Gman · 19 Feb 2009 at 22:09

This sounds more and more like my cousin. All you here about him is that he's some big shot hotel manager managing a team etc etc. Turned out he was the Night porter and because there was only about 3-4 people on the night shift he was class in his eyes as the manager lol.

Mr_T · 19 Feb 2009 at 22:20

I want an answer about the qualifications you have...

Do you have a CCNA - did you really get it in ~2 months... And what about the MCSE...

As you said earlier...

Angelos_n said:
IT practitioners course Diploma and CCNA currently waiting to do my test for the MCSE

Tell me about this test for the MCSE?! Which of the 7 MCP's have you done so far?

I'm sorry but no way at 18 do you have an MCSE & CCNA - you're either lying or you've been hitting those TestKing cheat sheets pretty hard

Either way more clarification is needed.

thevet · 20 Feb 2009 at 00:16

i must keep my eye on this thread

Rameses · 20 Feb 2009 at 00:22

My goodness give the lad a break!?!

We really need our OcUK detectives to do a customer care course or give them something juicer to do, they trying to question the poor lad's ever comment!

You'll could have just said 'Nice one' and left it at that??

How about the detectives try to work out how many Artic Silver's are in that picture!!!
