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 :dabs:
Hope you find something soon.

I'm glad you find him calling you a slack woman amusing. Some folk would take that personally.Quote:

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.
Mon plaisure. :naughty:Quote:

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.Quote:

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. :dry:
Sounds like you could get around some of that by simply "failing to report" select parts of your resume.
After all, they are not relevant. :naughty:
Who could blame you? :)
That's what she said, mate.Quote:

I'm always careful not to shove my qualifications down other people's throats and don't think I'm any better than my co-workers just because I have a good education.

manker likes to watch the cooking programs on a weekend morning and memorise the names of wines in a vein attempt to look like a non-chav, when really nothing would please him more than to sit on the wall behind the co-op and knock back a bottle of lambrini followed by a packet of quavers as a chaser :dabs:
That sentence fragment is glagworthy in so many ways :lol:Quote:
