I press this to log-on but it doesn't show me how to apply. http://speedcap.net/img/3b65e07d427a...d/2f55c1f0.png

What do I do? Also, I'm going to do a podcast and just talk about what I basically have on my CV but in a more formal way, if that makes sense?

Site's broken, you need to copy and paste the user and token parameters in the original URL. I'll up a cap later with details, but I'm on my phone.

Thanks!There's little chance I'll get it and Dublin is far away but I may as well apply!

Right, I finally got around to doing this, I basically didn't notice two days or so flying by.

If you've created an account and logged in, you'll get something like this:



Copy everything in the url from and including userid onwards.

Now go back to the offer you can't see details for.



After the the last digit in the URL, type an & symbol and paste in what you first copied after it.


press return, et voila.

PM me if you have any trouble.

Ah I guessed it was an authentication issue.

Also, maybe take out your quote of all my humongous screenshots?

ok so about what to say we didnt really cover it yet. So it recommends talking about your favourite subjects, any experience with IT and any projects and when you worked as a team to complete a task. For that part could people put like a sample one up in writing just to have an idea on where to go. But this is the part that confuses me; the other things to talk about, whats cool about cloud and all that stuff, i dont have a clue, does anybody know what they are going to say for that is they even are haha, thanks

I really don't mean to be offensive, but I think what they are trying to do there is find out who has genuine interest in the area and will go into the area in the future.

TL;DR you're supposed to speak from the heart, without any help from boards

Haha yes i know that, there trying the split between the people who want to do it and the people who just think it would be fun.

Like i have a genuine interest in IT, i have begun learning my coding languages such as c++,HTML etc, but to be honest i am clueless about cloud things i just know the basics, I am just looking for ideas on what to say,

I plan on doing a video this week or next,but my IT experience is quite limited as there is no technical graph or subjects like that offered in my school,as it is quite small.
Anybody thinking of leaving it until they get their JC results back,because my almost 100% certain all my grades improved and it would look better !

I just got mine now! Around 9:15 PM. I'm so relieved. Don't give up hope! Hotmail has been dodgy for me all day - taking ages to load, leading to blank pages, etc. Maybe they're just not getting through!
