Cool

Here is a tip - looking to work in IT without having to wear stupid suits, no politics... no Political Correctness.. lots of sexy girls (and boys but I wouldn't know about that errr.. yes err no ok)

What ye wants to do is work in ADVERTISING - it's totally mental - no interviews though - you turn up, have a chat and a beer and if they like you and you like them you end up with a job.

However things is very tight in advertising (fnaaar fnaaar) so not many jobs around at mo.

Not really an IT firm, but for a global oil services company with a workforce of 30,000. Am one of four deep support/architecture design messaging analysts.

Although, a seismic data logging division of the company we spun to a competitor had more computing power than NASA and indeed had given Dell it's biggest ever online order. I think they are number 8 in the world's computer powers. Impressive stuff.
