It likely won't matter one bit ... though sounding a bit like a character from Harry Potter might go over well.

Now I picture him walking in dressed as, and acting like Hagrid.

The advert they put online is more or less the exact wording in most of my CV.

Here's hoping!

Good luck BritishGuy, hope everything works out for you.
Just tell the interviewer that you know the Queen and can put a good word in for them regarding a knighthood - that should secure the job straight away

Re: First job interview next week

Interview went well, was in there for two hours. Sounds like I have more qualifications/experience than most guys already at the company.

Probably be hearing about second interview sometime soon.

But there are also other opportunities arising, things do seem to be picking up in my area.
