Thanks for your time, Jon Turnbull Managing Director, Ensoft Anthony, Oxford, Maths and Computer Science I was in my third year of a Maths & Computer Science degree at Oxford when it dawned on me that I couldn't spend another summer lazing around in the sun (or what there is in England) and that I should get some proper experience in the world. This decision was made in earnest in Hilary term, and I began to worry that I had left things too late and that all the worthwhile businesses would have already filled their quotas. How wrong I was. /To read Anthony's full casebook click here <http://www.ensoft.co.uk/careers/casebooks/anthony>/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colin, Cambridge, Computer Science Sometime during my first year at Cambridge, I became aware that I would have three months of holiday over the summer. I wasn't particularly worried about boredom, but it did occur to me that I should probably do something more helpful to both my CV and my bank balance than slowly work my way through Steam's "Games Under £5" section. /To read Colin's full casebook<http://www.ensoft.co.uk/careers/casebooks/colin>click here <http://www.ensoft.co.uk/careers/casebooks/colin>./ /./ -- * Ensoft Limited, Registered in Cardiff No. 3351902 * Registered Office: 13 Station Road, Finchley, London N3 2SB
