Triple post combo!
The interview actually went really well!
They have three vacancies and are interviewing 8 or 9 people so I'm pretty confident. The only slight negative was that I didn't sign on for jobseekers allowance when I started looking for work six months ago. I only signed on about 3 weeks ago and the airport need a personal reference for any 28day+ gaps in work/study.
They looked at my driving licence really closely but never mentioned that it had expired. I not sure if they noticed or not but they seemed happy enough with it.
I had to do a stupidly easy questionnaire but it was written by one of their own engineers and some of the answers they had were wrong. For example:
1. Which of these describes the CPU:
a. The brains of the computer.
b. Sausages.
c. It receives information, processes and presents it.
Now I was told some questions have two answers so I said A and C, but they said the answer was just C. I explained that some of my tutors described it as the brains of the computer and they agreed it was a bit vague and my answer was fine.
Another question:
2. Which of these is stored on ROM:
a. Software
b. Sausages
c. BIOS
I chose A, but they had the answer as C. I explained that the BIOS
is software and that you can get non-BIOS software on ROM and they agreed with my reasoning, but still insisted the answer was BIOS. I think they were happy with my technical knowledge anyway.
