Yeah... unfortunately, most of those people I know who have worked with him have said its mostly bullshit. I've heard he has several certificates on his walls which are actually fake, bought online for $50 type things.

Who knows. The guy is a douche, that's for sure.

Last tuesday i had my Panel interview with melville, 5 people asking me all the questions they could think off which was pretty intimadating but i turned on the old charm and managed to answer all the questions and get a few laughs which was good.

Yesterday i have my Medical assessment and drug test, also quote intimadating not to many guys have asked to see me in my underwear, not to many chicks for that matter either but he was quite eager to get it done with and make sure my arms and legs work. Took me 3 hours and 3 attempts to psych myself up for the drug test which was alot harder then i thought as they had put a mirror like pointing right to the business end of the test and having some nurse lady watching you really puts you off.

And this morning i got the call from employee services offering me a position :)

So i managed to get the job despite the various hiccups and draw backs including sending my application to the wrong address, having no experience and being so intimadated by a nurse watching me pee that i could only produce about 1/4 cup when they really needed half. :oops:

Thanks to dazla for all the advice and his time spent answering my million questions, chicky for encouraging me, bundaberg for his advice at ses one evening, awk@night for all his information in this thread, ANTT for his criticism and making sure i was aware of the work i may be undertaking and everyone else who has contributed to this thread.
