BJSS open day

I went to an open day at BJSS (don't ask what it stands for). A software company with a low profile, but an impressive client list. We had a talk followed by a Java test. Out of the four of us one passed the test and got interviewed. It wasn't me. Java is not my strongest suit, but I did think I had done OK. Never mind.

Aberystwyth GIS position

I went to an interview at Aber. They were looking for someone to organise GIS data for the Dyfi Biosphere project. They were very impressed, but I lost out to someone with previous experience of the environmental issues at Dyfi. They will email me posts that are coming up later though and that means I am doing something right.

I still don't know how I got through the whole interview without mentioning that I used to do lots of climbing and walking in Snowdonia, but there you go, your brain deserts you sometimes :).
