IDL seem to be a special case, and are emphatically not BT. They are, and I'm not being big-headed here, cherry-picking the best. If you're up for it, and are a good IT professional with relevant Internet experience, with good breadth (not just depth), then I'd be happy to put you forward. IDL are very actively encouraging personal referrals, knowing, I suppose, that we won't risk putting knob-heads forward. They seem happier with people of a certain age (I'm 44), and are sceptical of whizz-kids.

Both the people I know who work for IDL were headhunted from inside BT. and both are holding GURU status in alot of areas of IP/programming/unix etc... Unfortunatly like you said they take the mature end of things I'm not in the best situation (age 18) Maybe one day :o)

Good luck

Thanks

D

Cheers, Laurie.
