they have my C.V - they have everything on me
thats why i got the phone interview. He gave me loads of tips and info and said i seem mature and sensible and told me theres other people like me who he dismisses as they don't seem to know about anything. Im guessing he actually liked me.
And he can't wait to tear you a new one along with his buddies in a face to face interview.
lol, just lol.

Exactly. Its my own stupid fault. I don't even deserve the job. I don't why i went on the xbox. My career is worth more to me than a silly game but i dunno....
Im 21 and need something steady. I think its because i applied for BNFL. Did loads of research, had an amazing interview and they seemed really impressed and i wasn't successful.
It just put me on a downer that, no excuse though.

Very funny, but the fact you got a second chance indicates he may have thought you were very nervous.
Prepare properly today and knock their socks off in the interview tomorrow.
Whatever you do, don't go in 501's and a denim jacket.

Re-enlist in the army? Why not stay at your current job, because I remember a while back you claiming you were earning £45K at it.

I never, it said that on myspace lol. You just presumed you sex wee.
The Internets NEVER FORGET
Let me get this straight though, you played on your Xbox whilst you were being interviewed over the telephone? You might as well asked the interviewer to join you and you could conduct it over the headset...
"So Shep, what can you tell me about BP"
"Well I know they sell petr.... *bang bang bang, reload* OH **** INCOMING!!!! Sorry what was the question again?"
I never did a phone interview when I joined the Merch as an Engineer Cadet, was just an in person one. But then I only stayed for phase 1 of training and then went home and started working for Asda. I have a good interview technique though.
So that means these people didn't even say "they sell petrol"? They just went straight to "lol"
This is why you sit next to a computer
BP: Can you tell us... What do BP do?
You: What do BP do?
*Taps into wikipedia*
You: That's a good question! Well...
*Wikipedia loads*
You: BP is the third largest global energy company, a multinational oil company with headquarters in London.
The company is among the largest private sector energy corporations in the world, and one of the six "supermajors".
The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

Ah, but you're buggered if the Interviewer is sitting there at his end with the Wikipedia article open himself.

reminds me of my maths exam, just before it I had a monster session of chaos engine with my mate. But in the end we both got B's and it was actually the only exam he passed that year.
On the way to the exam I pulled out a vital question/equation, it came up and gave 10% of the marks, fools luck
You sound like you will end up like that comedian who first had a job in chemical industry. Too smart to work behind a desk

Exactly, what I thought too. The bp site itself would provide some info as well I imagine.
Not really, just because someone knows what's on the wiki doesn't mean he's looking at it, provided it's not obviously hearable he is literally reading out loud or typing stuff in he can easily get away with it, even by just randomly reading form the site, eg. start at the bottom...
