I've got a new Job. Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

This is the last day in my old job, I'm off to the big smoke to do 3 weeks training and then I start. I'm not sure if i will be able to go on the internet with my new job so I might not be around very much.


Any quick tips on how to do well in my new employment.

The Home Office is a British government department that controls, amongst other things, the things that TheStinger stated in his last post.

Doesn't matter how good you are, only how good you look. look busy, make sure you pass the blame to someone else, kiss just the right amount of arse to get noticed but to not annoy your cowies.

There's a coupla places in the City that are liquidated stock bond agents. Good for computer bits (and a damn sight cheaper than the rest of London). If you're interested PM me and I'll dig out the address.

It's either that or the Oxford Circus Saturday market (or the infamous Exchange just up the road towards Goodge Street.

Wherabouts you planning on staying? Wood Green isn't so bad for a set of temporary digs. It's a bit of a drag after a while though.

Good luck Stinger. I stuck it for 5 years and wild horses wouldn't drag me back.

EDIT: One tip for a successful employment strategy that gets you noticed.

Always leave at least half an hour before you have to, to make sure you beat the rush.

NEVER being late in London is almost unheard of. It will get you noticed, guaranteed. It's a drag to keep it up for 3-6 months but after that you get your first break and you are lauging all the way to the bank.

Don't be the good worker. Be the bad worker. That way they will expect you to screw up. However, if your the good worker, who always shows up earlier and does his job perfect, the minute you screw up, you're canned.
