Blimey, getting further work with the mob sure appears complicated!
My last job interview (conducted by text and coincidentally, two years ago yesterday - I'm still there
) went something like this...
Boss Man "can you do xxxx for us?"
Me "maybe, what'll it pay?"
Boss Man "xxxx"
Me "OK, when do I start"
Boss Man "meeting in 30 minutes, join by Hangouts"
Me "OK"
Nobody abated nuffink
Aircrew, engineers, and many other military types are (nearly always) amazingly talented people. There is a wonderful, rich and varied world out there, desperate for your talents and skills - maybe give it a shot?
