Took 3 yrs for an interview,back in early 90s,than an offer,with a 10 month,wait to join.
Some guys,quite literally,rock up,and on the off chance,present for intviews etc,on the premise that someone cannot/doesnt show.Happened a great deal this year and last year.
They wait.3 weeks.I kid you not.
Some you win,some you lose,good luck,to all who want to come.
