2)You then have a interview which the first 5 questions are about you and then u have 10 where u have to answer them useing examples of how u achived them.like

4)The ladder test. you first have to carry a 3peace ladder around some cons. You then have to climb a ladder with the safty gear on and do certian this up there. like put ur hand on either side of the ladder and then look left-right-left and some other things.

5)if u passed all the above u then fill some more forms in and then go home and thats it

Piecework - had us doing it a few weeks back. I was organising it. I told management no one would turn up and no one did. They set the quota at 45 for 1x time and 1/2 - connect to server and create/edit GPO. It takes two to three minutes to do the work... I managed 3x time and 1/2 in the five hours between 8 and 1 on a Saturday.

Main problem with C&IT, including networking, is that it's not seen as a profession - anyone can read a book and do it. You wouldn't get far in court if you'd read a book, or in an operating theatre. It's not good. The BCS are making little difference.
