Dashed bad luck, old stick. They probably thought you were over-qualified and would shaft them when a better job opportunity came along.
Like, for example, an entrail collater at a Cornish pig-farm
Hope you find something soon.

I'm glad you find him calling you a slack woman amusing. Some folk would take that personally.Originally Posted by Carcinus
Cheap beer, gambling, and loose women (well, slack anyway at their age), sounds right up the street of you know who.

No doubt the interviewer feared for her job, if she hired you.
Disqualification by overqualification, and never a nod to circumstance, eh?
Hell, I've hired people for a few weeks, to tide me over, and as a consequence, I've got a double handful of people I can call in an emergency.
One is a mechanical engineer, studying for his Master's.
People such as the one who turned you down are a pox on the earth.

I think there certainly was an element of wanting floor-staff to remain floor-staff and not have any aspirations to move up the ranks. In which case I'm better off not working for them. My sights are set on more suitable careers but whilst I'm looking I need to find a "no-brainer" job to pay the bills.
However, it seems that nowadays even "no-brainer" employers are getting fussy and choosing not to hire those with graduate and postgraduate qualifications, not looking at the years of experience I have over a range of different employment sectors. My qualifications seem to put off prospective employers and I'm seriously considering dumbing down my cv, once I can square it with my ego.
The man downstairs from me was made redundant three weeks ago too He is a qualified marine engineer with a proven track record. He can't find anything either and was turned down for a handyman post that he could have excelled at in his sleep. Last time I was left unemployed I found a job in a matter of days. It seems times they are a changing.
