Thanks for the replies guys - i didn't realise there was another thread on this already!
@ ann - yeah, the general consensus seem to be suit. guess im gonna have to buy my first one. My MSc studentship was so easy - just an email with my CV and a 5 minutes phone interview and offer, so i've never been to an academic interview in my life.
@ stu: hmmm - now that you mention it, one condition though - can i have your title when you're done?
