Unfortunately, this blog has suffered because of it! Anyway, rant over!

Another thing... I didn't get past the second interview with Google (yeah, I may as well use names now!). They didn't attribute this decision to my phone interviews - I had performed well at this stage I was told, but instead it was my work experience that brought me down.Â

The second phone interview was much harder than the first. The first was really just to make sure that I was breathing and not a complete idiot. However the second interviewer asked a question every minute, and were all like as such:

 - Why did Google buy Google Earth?

 - What would you do with 5,000 computers and 5 paid engineers?

Personally, I'm not that this is the actual reason. I have plenty of experience in the IT workplace, and definitely more than than most of the peers on my course. SO! I think it was more down to my lack of age, rather than experience.

Despite all of this, Eli Lilly have very nicely kept my pending job for my as a Technical Analyst at Erl Wood. Today I had a familiarisation day which went well, and have given me a lot more confidence in what I'll actually be doing there!

My exams start next week, but I will hopefully post a bit more frequently that once every two months!
