    I press this to log-on but it doesn't show me how to apply. http://speedcap.net/img/3b65e07d427a6089dec39a99e2ae5ffd/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.

    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:

    Qg6t5.png

    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.

    Thanks a million! How did you figure it out though? I feel so stupid

    Ah I guessed it was an authentication issue.

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

    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!

    Congrats to whoever got it, best of luck, it's a great place
    Some people don't accept their offers due to dates clashing with other work exp dates or whatever so there's still a chance.
    And say hi to Ann for me :)

    I wanted to get in Google too but you needed to know someone who worked there :( And now in 5th year I do :mad:

    PS: You might think the day with the Xbox team will be really fun but it's actually the most boring place there :eek: other than that, brilliant

    Trinity Computer Science Workshop it is so
    That looks gas :D
