Do you have to work in a chain gang to get your giro Khanivor?

Course, it runs out after 6 months. There are extensions but when you run out of those you run out of money.

Was talking to the wife last night about plans, etc. and mentioned that ITIL was something I needed to get under my belt - You have confirmed this and provided a lovely link - Eurogamer is a really helpful place sometimes!
ITIL v3 foundation. Every job I went for since getting it, I've got to interview stage. It's definitely something people want to discuss when you're face to face with them.
Edit: I used this playlist from an Australian Uni that does ITIL as part of its coursework for study and booked my exam through Pearson Vue.

Nasty - Out of interest, did you do the Foundation, or work through the other modules as well?
I get a badge if my FBCS is accepted \o/Concrete wrote:I think in most down to earth jobs, you don't get paid extra for working harder and there is no ladder to climb and no job satisfaction. We live in a very materialistic and shallow society where it's all about having a bigger house and better woman than the next man and showing off the latest iShit.
. Often working hard at whatever job you can get is the most likely way of improving your situation.

@DJCopa
Just foundation so far. New job have already offered to put me through some more with a view to filling the change/release manager role.
Just a cert. No badge
I crammed the first 30-40 videos of t-at playlist and did a ton of free practice exams. I do have a decent capacity for absorbing meaningless acronym drivel and the practice exams were pretty straightforward 'Find the key word in the question and run with it' type faire.

It has to be slightly embarrassing when someone from your past comes in for a burger wearing a suit and you're there with a cardboard hat on, waist deep in french fry grease, no?

I'm currently studying for my MCITP Server 2008 exams but will be looking at the ITIL ones next as am interested in getting into the NHS.
