In February I applied for a job as a lost property assistant with London Underground, being a bit of a transport buff.
It took them till May to call me for interview, by which point I'd already had two other jobs, and had me thinking that If I was London Underground, would I want to employ anyone who hadn't got a job in three months?
Anyway..
Three careers later...
Look what I got in my inbox today.

I especially like the "we appreciate this may be disapointing for you" bit.
Incidentally tho- if you every get the chance to go for an interview there, GO! its amazing. Everything thats ever been left on the tube, train bus, etc in the bowels of Baker Street Station.
