==Discussion board==
Never would have thunk I would find this so inisdpnesalbe.
The messageboard is a key feature of the site, allowing students and graduates to exchange information about interviews they are currently applying for or preparing for. This part of the site was actually launched before the core wiki sections, and was originally called '''NotGotAJobYet'''. The messageboard is in fact still accessable via the original web address [http://www.notgotajobyet.co.uk www.notgotajobyet.co.uk].
 
This board has grown in popularity rapidly since implementation and continues to receive many daily posts from various new as well as long term users.  Posts debate interview technique and necessary preparation, detail assessment days for city firms and discuss the benefits of specific companies compared to others. Users value the messageboards because the information they receive comes from their peers, rather than from companies or recruiters where it can often be limited and highly corporate.
