That’s all very well if you believe it, but I’m afraid I don’t;
I wouldn’t write about it if I did, I suppose. The way I see
it is this: those monkeys knew what they were up to.
There was none of this ‘no-pole-fitting together buis-

these-poles-thogether-and-let-the-humans-think-
they’re-wicked’ type thing going on ... proving, to me
and my friends at least, that monkeys know ‘where it’s
at’, as well as proving that they’re well aware of the All
Saints back catalogue at the same time.

The interview is your opportunity to convince an employer
that you’re the right person for the job. That means
achieving two things:- you must prove you have the right
qualities and you must convince them that you’d love to do
the job you’ve applied for.
My first tip is this - make sure that you plan for the interview
well in advance. Examine the job description closely. This
will list the attributes which the job requires. Think about all
you have done which you could use as evidence to show
that you meet those requirements. Employers are particu-
larly keen to find out whether you have appropriate skills
such as leading, researching and organising and often ask
you to provide examples of when and how you have demon-
strated these in the past. You should also spend some time
researching the employer in greater depth. It’s a good time
to browse through their annual report for instance.
Attention
It has been brought to our attention by the local police that there have been a number
of recent burglaries in the Woodbridge Hill/Manor Road area of Guildford.
We felt that due to the large number of students living in that area that this informa-
tion should be passed on to you.
We don’t want to unduly worry you but we would like to take this opportunity to
remind you about the importance of ensuring your property is secure.
Here’s some security hints:
Lock doors and windows at night and when you go out.
Ensure that your personal possessions are insured.
Ask neighbours to keep an eye on your property when you are away during
vacations.
Keep your bike somewhere safe.
Ask the local police for advice an Ultra-violet pen to mark your property.
For further advice and information contact the Student’s Union, the Accommodation
office or the Student Advice and Information Service.
