my agent just rang me up and said that I'm currently the only person who is going for the job, plus they need someone urgently - i got the phone call this morning - and if it goes well i start tomorrow on £7 an hour on a temp basis until the IT manager gets back from holiday then hopefully on the 24k a year.

24k for an IT helpdesk role seems too much even if it is a supervisory position. If it is quite a managerial position then I would presume they are looking for years of experience in such positions with that salary. Good luck to you though don't let my skepticism ruin it.

let us know how it goes and once again good luck

So is it confirmed @ 24k, or is that the top end of the band? Pretty impressive for helpdesk staff...

Yep confirmed at 24k, and turns out I'm not really doing any helpdesk stuff at all, its admin work, paper work and stuff, gotta manage a lot of things all at one time, struggled this morning but soon got the gist of it and was a lot better this afternoon

well done mate, thats really good for someone your age

We should arrange a OcUK London Workers Post Work Drinks Meet at some point!

I've just recently started in Canary Wharf (stuck on floor 3 of a 31 floor building )

I know he's said it's not much helpdesk, but whatever it's still central london and that will always command a premium.

Getting 24k for that job down here would be impossible, infact my team are advertising for an admin type person (sounds similar) and that's up for 15k.

Congrats

Lucky sob lol, what do you mean there is nothing to do at lunch, you're in London! I can meet you for a beer one lunch time if ya want.
