    I just got a job at Virgin but...

    Hey all I just got a job at virgin mobile for customer service out of about 50 people I was one of the few people they took. And yes I will get to meet Branson next time he is in the country (people told me today about their experiences when they met him) Anyway I have an issue with the amount of training etc they want me to do and fit into uni and plus exams. Im only first year uni so it doesn’t really count towards anything plus im thinking about changing uni's and doing a new degree which i may, may not get into.

    I finish uni next week then I have 3 exams. They want me to train 9 to 5 for the next 3 weeks from Monday but will accommodate me some days for uni I think I have control whenever I say I want a day off at first they are like no but then yes. So I have the weekends to study and after 5 to study heaps so it can work just how well I don’t know your thoughts.

    I value my degree more though like I don’t want to be a common and work as a cus ser rep I want to work what I saw in the city a marketing manager etc. Plus own my own business soon.

    Well it all worked out in the end they will accomidate me for uni because by the sounds of it they wanted me a lot. Knowing a lot about a company before you go for an interview helps I guess. Anyway all good it worked out.

    Don’t you mean Donald Trump? Anyhow I was 5 out of about 50 that got the job and yesterday I was like I cant make 3 days in the afternoon and they were like they wont give it to you then but within 5 hours they call back and say fine we can accommodate.

    With the main man Mr Virign?

    The interview process was about 6 hours long but I think I did well obviously.

    Sir Alan Sugar has a reality TV show called 'The Apprentice' which is pretty much the same as Trumps show except in the UK
