If it wasn't based in London I'd apply, gutted really as I match all the criteria bar being able to commute to London.

Move to London for the summer.

Not really a viable option as I'm only 17, doesn't matter. I think I'm supposed to be starting college in September anyway.

as aaberdeenn's first post for me.

Any chance of one being a permanent role? I have worked with SI on a number of titles (I tested CM4 dont you know ), and I'm 10 years older than the minimum age ( ).

I was 16 when I first started and found it a great experience, SI won't hold it against you because of your age if your suitable for the role

I'd be intrested in coming back again this year, do I have to go through the whole sending CV in process and applying from scratch as didn't last year

How many people are you looking for?

Any chance of a July start date?

Where in London is your office?

Is there a chance that the temporary job could become a permanent one?

Thanks

I would move into my uncles if the wage was good enough.

Is it constant work throughout because i have tickets for oxegen and i would really want to still go to it

Damnit, if it was 6 months I would bite your hand off. Do you guys offer any graduate placements?
