cbc exam part 2 - the results.

Just moments ago, my email program happily chimed to let me know of my latest email.

It was the results from last week's attempt at the infamous CBC entrance exam.

As I had feared, it was a fail.

57%. Just 3 % shy of the cut off mark. I'm betting it was the grammar question that got me. That and the dozen questions regarding electricity and set building that I had no hope of getting.

I wouldn't have been proud with just a 60% either, but the test itself was unfair. How am I to be an expert at 11 different and mostly unrelated technical skills? There was no realistic way to study for this. Where do I start with computer programming? What level of competence are they looking for in my ability to put screws into a set?

So now I am supposed to wait a further 12 months before I will be deemed mature enough to try again.

Well think again, CBC. I will not be crawling back begging for a job.

Instead, when I've calmed down some, I will be sending a well written letter of outrage, and I expect to be listened to...
