Despite the bad odds, I managed to get the job I wanted.

A few months ago I wrote a thread here detailing my employment predicament and I was written off as a failure and having done wrong. Well, here I am today having overcome the obstacles and got the offer I was fighting so hard to get. To the naysayers, this is just an amazing day, an amazing feeling.

    Why didn't you use the same account as before? The naysayers have no idea who you are because you have used a new account!

    Dont feel too amazing. For all you know you may get sacked, or killed in a plane crash on your first prebooked holiday with this job.

    Congrats anyway:)
    Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.

    If it was a few months ago they may have forgotten the previous userid. I know I've done that on sites I only visit rarely. :o
