Re: job Interview, please advise!!!
Wow talk about over qualified, you do realise a VM network engineer probably only earns about £20'000 a year? You ever thought about working with Sky?

You seem to have a very miss informed view on Virgin Media employment - below is another incorrect post by your good self
"I don't think Virginmedia employee many "engineers" either directly or via sub-con. You could always apply for a job as a "forward path attenuator" fitter though, they seem to employ hundreds of them"
Manchi Boi - the salary is better than this guy reckons and as I said in response to his lies above, they have over 1500 engineers/technicians. They look at what you are like as a person, a positive can do attitude, customer focused, team player etc - do some research on Richard Bransons approach as that is what they follow.
Best of luck

Telly_ works for Sky what else would you expect from him and if you check all his posts are repetitively based around Sky Sky oh and Sky.
I make it very clear I work for VM but i don't get involved in the vm verses sky points scoring posts as i happen to be a grown up and find them boring

A VM Network Engineer like myself would start at around £24,000 a year plus over time which bumps it up by quite a bit.
