Not only did I get the job, the company have matched my current earnings ($10k more than spoke of at interview) ...

Soooo, decent job with REAL prospects, decent pay to start with, company car, phone allowance, laptop and all tools provided, and what at first glance seems like a decent bunch of fellow employee's ...

The ONLY prob I guess is the pressure is on! They originally was after a school leaver to train up, and me being 'mature' they're happy to pay me more than the crap wage they'd pay a teen, but in turn I HAVE to perform and pick it all up in 3 - 6 months, normally they'd give a year!

I have to do a Telstra course asap so I can legally play about with their wiring, and will have HEAPS of homework to get up to scratch, but I've craved a technical job for a long time so will be happy to throw 100% at it fa sure! ... this IS my chance!!!

If all goes well in a year or so I could be earning an above average wage, and have VERY good job prospects! ...

CAN LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS???

For now it can't! ... I am ecstatic! ...

Good on yah!

Cheers

Yeah must admit the thought of Darwin didn't appeal too much really, but if this break didn't come then I think the army was still fav!
