Cool.
So, just because I’m not a Windows/MacIntosh user I cannot apply to any vacancy available at Royal Bank of Scotland? A bit enervating and limiting, especially considering that Firefox’s starting to be the most common browser installed on PCs!

Fortunately, Firefox is smart enough to cheat those kind of limitations – usually. I just had to set “Internet Explorer 6.0″ on its user agent switcher to make RBS system happy, hadn’t I?
Indeed, something changed: instead of the error message, I got a completely blank page! Setting “Opera 8.51″ instead of “Internet Explorer 6.0″ on the agent switcher, I got the same page as Firefox: this combination is not currently supported for this assessment.
Trying directly with Opera web browser – after spending again 10 minutes time to fill out all the fields required – the result was a blank page again. Moreover, even if it wasn’t working once reached the last step of the registration, RBS system had already recorded all my details. Read: I had to use different email addresses each time, or it wouldn’t go on!

Would I be considered as an ideal candidate for RBS roles? Who the hell knows? They don’t even give me the possibility to forward them my application! :-|
