    Oh yeah -

    5. It's a company that's thriving and indeed growing despite the recession. Job security ain't easy to come by these days, but Admiral can offer it :)

    I heard they were looking to take on another 600 people this year :T
    I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care

    You don't want to look back in a years time and regret not going.

    ps is it a man in Wales ;)

    :rotfl: Afraid not :p

    Just bored, need something new to get me out and doing things again. How sad at the ripe old age of 23!
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I give you 3 months before you're at it with a colleague. That place is a hotbed of sin ;)

    Ive lived in the UK for three years now-left South Africa to be a mum and full time PA to a very demanding boss-my very busy husband ;)

    In SA I started as a bum in seat in a call centre and worked my way up-led a team, then trained the new comers, then moved to training and finally ended up resigning from the job title "quality analyst" to come over here.

    Im 32 weeks pg with number 2 and just spotting your thread has me bawling my eyes out-you sound like me then. I still harbour fantasies of going back to that environment (and yes, Im always nice when I phone call centres now ;) even VM who are in my bad books at the mo)...

    I just wanted to wish you the BEST OF THE BEST and say I'll be watching you so I can live vicariously :p What an amazing oppertunity.

    But what about your poor Mummy that you will be leaving behind? :P

    Well as I have said from the start, go for it. This is the best time to do it, no ties (except your poor mummy) and a chance to build some kind of career, and hopefully earn some decent money to keep your mummy in the style she would like :) xxx

    Yeah go for it. Sounds like a great opportunity, do it while you're young and have no ties. :D
