    Will everyone be up for this next year? I was thinking we could do an entry fee.. say £10 entry, if there's around 10 of us again, we could do £50 for 1st place, £50 into the FG Fund? Just an idea

    I'm also going to do the new CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ exam. It's around £70 and seems to be a broad foundation level qualification across a bit of everything. I realise that although I have a fair bit of knowledge, the only IT qualification I have is my GCSE from about 8 years ago lol. I've done a few of the free practise mini exams (about 10 questions) and got 100% on most, so will do a little brushing up over the coming weeks and then go for the exam, just to have a proper qualification to back up my skills and knowledge. Some of A+ stuff was pretty advanced and specialised so feel that maybe the Fundamentals+ is a good way to start and getting a foundation qualification across a few areas.

    So the apprenticeship was posted a month or two ago, but as a Business and Admin qualification under the role of Customer Services, but working in the Service Desk (IT). I already have a Level 3, so didn't apply. My mate has since told me that they're re-posting the vacancy, as everyone who applied before was terrible (to put it politely). I noticed on the Indeed advertisement, it says "Work towards a Level 3 in Business and Admin OR Information Technology". However, I think this should've been removed and more of a 'delete one' as an NHS template when they post jobs, as when I apply on the NHS website it only says Business and Admin Level 3. Anyway, I have applied and in my covering letter have said on Indeed advertisement it says a choice between the two, and as I already have a Level 3 in B&A I'd love to do the IT option. Hopefully something comes of it. Worse thing that could happen would be for them to say I read the advertisement wrong and that the NHS website one is the correct one, however its worth a try. They may see someone with a L3 B&A and think it would be a good starting point for a new IT guy in their team who already has experience/qualification in B&A and Customer Service. Closing date is 19th May so we will see what happens.

    So, looks like we won't be getting a reveal/trailer until E3, so 11-13th June. One of the latest reveals in COD's history I believe.

    Yeah tell me about it. I kinda understand when its just an application, just say you didn't make the cut sorry or whatever. But when you actually go for an interview, get to know eachother and get along well, just a simple couple of lines of feedback when requested would be helpful.
  21. Dan94
    Thanks Leigh - appreciate that buddy. I think the most frustrating thing is getting no feedback. The last 2 interviews I went for and wasn't successful I asked for feedback regarding application/interview and didn't receive a response. At least then I'd know what I can improve on. I do wonder if my age has something to do with it. They know after the first year of the apprenticeship, they'd have to then start paying me the living wage in the 2nd year. That's the only thing I can think of. I come across well in the interviews (imo), have good customer service experience which I display and explain about being the 'IT help guy' in my current department despite not actually working in IT. There's just not many IT apprenticeships out there so when one does come up, I know I have to put everything into the application and interview. Don't want to sound like a moaner, but just doesn't seem fair (I know, life's not fair...). Coupled with the fact that my current job is getting shitter (department cut from 12 people down to 5, same workload and a manager who is clueless/lazy) doesn't help the situation. I guess I feel a little like time isn't on my side either, currently saving for a house so now is the ideal time to take a pay cut, because once I get a house and a mortgage, I literally won't be able to afford to take the apprenticeship pay cut from what I'm on now. I know I just have to keep trying, but it's just getting me down every now and then.

    Never played this before but I know a couple people irl who've played it for years. Is it time consuming to play? I'd be more than happy to give it a whirl :)
  23. Dan94
    So I got an email yesterday, didnt get that one. Have applied for 2 others, but im starting to give up now.

    So I had an interview 2 weeks ago now, again, went really well, was for an IT Support Engineer role, basically supporting the IT Manager as they couldn't handle being a one man band anymore on their own. Would be 1 day at college every 2 weeks, £600 a month for a year then up to minimum wage after that and then better money. Girlfriend really supportive and saying if its what I want to do and make me happy, then we can wait a little longer before getting a house (we're currently saving a lot each month in our current jobs). Was meant to hear either way by the end of last week, so by Thursday. Didn't hear anything, so thought maybe because its the Easter Weekend they may be really busy etc... so left it until yesterday, still nothing by lunchtime, so decided to email them asking if they had any update regarding the position following my interview. Still haven't heard anything... problem is I'm one of these guys who always looks at the good in people and keep thinking maybe they're just busy etc but part of me thinks maybe they've just found someone else more suitable and not letting people know. Not really sure where this is going, just felt like I needed to rant
