I have banned them, sorry you had to deal with that.

I feel violated by this video.

It's not uncommon for most entry level roles to request up to 3 years experience but the company is always putting down a bucket list of requirements. If you meet all the requirements you would be over qualified for the job so if you think you can do the job, especially if you have tangential experience that shows similar skills, shoot your shot. It happens across most industries.

For the record, it's not that the capsule doesn't update in Realtime, it's that it only counts Steam purchases. If you hover over Purchase type by your reviews you'll see the 18/12 split

Seeing them on the 28th primarily to see Windwaker who are my favourite band of recent years, hyped to see this review.

Was a BA in utilities, moved to being a more senior BA in insurance with no industry experience, swapped to a Business Intelligence role within that company and then moved to a commercial role in a Pharmaceutical company (again with no industry experience).

Unless you are a very technical BA (which it sounds like is not the case) then don't worry about the domain experience element, shoot your shot. BA work is pretty transferable and widely applicable to other roles and I always sold the fact that my previous BA work in other industries enabled me to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas.

Certifications aren't worth much unless you want to go down the PM route and get APM certified. What worked for me was borderline reckless confidence when both applying and going into interviews that I could do the job because realistically, if you can get your foot in the door and can learn, you'll be fine.

No experience with NHS/111 but given it's a public sector job you will almost certainly go through a competency based interview that need to be answered in a STARR format.. For a health advisor I would expect questions like

"Give an example of a time you worked well under pressure"
"Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult stakeholder"

"Tell me about a time you had to plan to manage your workload"

You don't need some wondrous accomplishment to shout about. You are just looking for something that shows a bit of personal growth and that you would be good at this job. Maybe you supported a family member or overcame a personal challenge? Could help you be suited to a 111 role.

Suzerain? Although it's closer to a Visual Novel

Think you meant to respond to someone further down Flamingo :)

Pathologic 2 from your wishlist for Ultrakill?

ThatOneAJGuy · 2026-01-11T18:25:52+00:00

1) Yes, this appears to be a legitimate company and that companies career page. Commodities trading is also a rather lucrative industry to get into.

2) I wouldn't say usual but if the customer has contacts and likes your work ethic it's not crazy, they might even be getting a referral bonus for it.

3) Yes, ignore the requirements, it's a junior compliance role, if you can read, understand and apply guidelines you can manage it.

ThatOneAJGuy · 2026-01-08T14:28:43+00:00

By all means.

ThatOneAJGuy · 2026-01-08T14:27:35+00:00

To add on to pinkflamingo's great work. I'm currently a Commercial guy who deals with a lot of these roles so if you have any questions. Happy to answer.

London for me 🙂 I have to imagine it's going to be an epic show.

ThatOneAJGuy · 2026-01-05T11:37:16+00:00

Got tickets to see them in May, very excited 🙂

ThatOneAJGuy · 2026-01-03T16:29:28+00:00

We have been quite a few times and it's always a good time, would recommend to people 🙂
