Default Ever wanted to work for Virgin Media ?

Well nows your chance !

(Dunno if I'm allowed to post this but its just something I've noticed)

Virginmedia in Liverpool are hiring 100 ENGLISH (well from England) advisors for 1st line technical support !!

Meaning less chance to speak to India !!

Helps my job stay secure too.. I have people to shout at
If anyone is seriously interested PM me for details !!

You dont need to know that much.. its all trained out.. but the more you do know the easier the job will be!

I did that job for a year so its not that bad !!

ps. Opera keeps adding code to my posts
.wysiwyg { background-attachment: scroll; background-repeat: repeat; background-position: 0% 0%; background-color: #f5f5ff; background-image: none; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal } p { margin: 0px; }

Um, yes, whatever.....

So Virgin pay 1st line 50k+ in Liverpool, whilst BT pay 3rd line 50k+ in London? Really?

There must be a long queue outside HR!
