			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went down to Eastleigh, Southampton last weekend to view a house for while I&#8217;m working at <a href="http://natashaallsopp.co.uk/2009/01/ibm-placement/">IBM</a>.<br />
Its a nice area and house, plus its about 10 min drive away from IBM and 30 min drive away from westquays shopping centre, southampton, which is perfect.</p>
<p>Really looking forward to moving in the house and starting work now. What makes it better is the guys I&#8217;m moving in with are really nice and I feel we will all get on well.</p>
<p>Find out more about <a href="http://natashaallsopp.co.uk/2009/01/ibm-placement/">IBM placement accessment centre&#8217;s</a>.</p>
<p>Not got much to say about this subject, but will be posting again soon.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just before Christmas I was invited to an assessment centre and interview for a 12 month placement as a Software Developer at IBM in Hursley, nr Winchester.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawdm/35011861/"><img class="iphoto aligncenter" title="IBM" src="http://natashaallsopp.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ibm-300x225.jpg" alt="IBM" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The assessment was a 14 minute test, which would have been impossible to finish in 30 minutes!</p>
<p>Also I had to participate in two group exercises, the first was to organise a placement presentation for IBM and then present our decision. (I really enjoyed that task) <img src='http://natashaallsopp.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The second was to go through some application forms and decide who fit the job specification the best (that was hard).</p>
<p>Then I had 2 interviews, one was to find out who I am as a person, the other was a business interview, to find out what work I am capable of doing and past experiences in software development.</p>
<p>After less than 24 hours, a lady from the HR team rang me, to offer me a job.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so excited and can&#8217;t wait to start working for them, although it means me and Phil have got to live in separate places for the 12 months. <img src='http://natashaallsopp.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  However, we are as strong as a rock and I know we will get through it and move back in together for our final year as happy as ever.</p>
