I applied for VM installer for Mcnicholas and I've got an interview, but after reading these reviews I don't think I'll be wasting my time going to the interview!?!

Crikey. But could be good interview experience if it does not cost you too much to get to the interview.

A ****** job is usually better than no job. As andrew said, the interview experience alone is probably worth it.

Counter-intuitive as it seems, this is true.

It's far easier to get a good job if you're already in a job, than if you're unemployed. So having a "******" job on its own increases your chances of getting a good one.

Yes, it'll begin with an induction, then move on to a trade test.
