They want more evidence of drafting with those because they need something less subjective to point to.

I knew I'd have no chance of getting a job in Politics on account of being from a working class family and being unable to long unpaid interships. I've always been interested in technology, targeted IT roles for that reason for that reason. First assessment centre was with a different company and I had a holocaust, had slept in London like a baby and had to travel to the middle of fucking nowhere in the Southwest. Hardly said anything in the group presentations and was sent home before lunch, along with 20 of the other 25 people there. Learnt from that, dominated the group presentation at the next company, performed brilliantly in the interviews and nailed the presentations with some excellent use of Economics - I'd read a lot since graduating. Got a phone call the next day offering me the job.

You could def get a job in local government, half my family work in various roles and they are one generation out of the mines. If you work in the public sector all you have to do is do a good job in your role, don't be afraid to do extra things to network and it's very easy to move around.

Dinho's debut didn't go all that great. All the faces of disbelief afterwards are priceless.

m8, try watching that video with headphones on seems like they don't even have stereo yet
It's kinda stereo, the right channel is playing all the sound and the left channel is making a charming buzzing noise.

I remember when we played Mexico last year in FIFA World Cup Qualifying
I've never seen such poor TV quality before in my life. I could barely tell if the ball was going in the goal

It's the only video that had the foul, penalty and fan reaction.
The only thing I remember of the New Zealand matches were that Mexico scored like 9 goals against them.

I've had a job in local government, it was too low paying and slow progression for my liking, my starting salary with the company I'm at now is higher than what my boss at Lancashire County Council was on.

Our manager is an absolute muppet and put up a back five which included a 38 year old, a 32 year old, a right winger and a guy who had no club (iirc)
We were bound to fail from the start. In midfield we had a guy who plays like 2nd division in Murrica

I miss twitter. Deleted it after I was hacked a second time.
I didn't use it all that much, and when I did it was to say some stupid shit, but I liked following people and seeing what they had to say.

Honestly don't really think about it. Probably something unrelated to the degree tbh, but I'll see.
