Finished IR in Feb. 2008, started applying right away, and finished MCC in May 2008. Was full of optimism, always smiling, thought the tough times were past, and the "fantasy" dream job awaited. 2 years and 7 months on from 1st time pass of the IR with Examiner 001 in Bournemouth, NOT ONE INTERVIEW, even FR won't look at me, despite contacts in the industry en masse.
31 months and counting............
WWW really is the oracle. I should have listened to him.
