'Breaking News that nobody is interested in' ...

It's happened to me a few times "We really liked you but there was just somebody who better fitted the experience...." And on one memorable occasion "If the person we gave the job to turns it down you would be next"

They have to have an open and transparent recruitment process so, even if they know who is going to get the job in advance, they have to go through a selection process which is awful for people like yourself who are seemingly there just to make up numbers.

But don't be downhearted- you got really positive feedback so your interviewing skills are clearly very good. Keep trying for other jobs.

Nice words oh wise one.
This happens a lot I think,

Thing is mate, i don't think this was a case of not getting it because of shenanigens as such, just there was a clear advantage of being in there so could answer with those detials.

Doubly frustrating as i can't get a better job where i work because the jobs are rigged. As in completely rigged, no chance of even applying. So the best way to get a better job is to take a worse job somewhere else and wait for the chance to get said better job if/when it came up.

You can see why i am fustrated about it!




Yeah, i have learned from it but to be honest i got my hopes up a little bit over the weekend, and to hear essentially i did everything i could and still failed is a bit crushing. As i said if i had interviewed crap then i'd take it as a learning experience. the fact i couldn't have interviewed better without prior knowledge of the department which i would never would have known? You see what i mean?

Just wait until you DO know all the answers ( and then some ) but are 15yrs older than all the other applicants...lost count of the number of interviews I came '2nd' in.

You'll get there mate.

Sadly, I think it you are right. Especially if it's an internal vacancy.

I just had a load of large crumpets with shed loads of butter. Superb.

Love crumpets with butter. Found out last week I've got high cholesterol, crumpets it is then.

In typical medical science fashion the current view seems to be moving away from "fat causes cholesterol causes heart disease", so on that basis, carry on and enjoy those buttered crumpets...

Just had two pieces of toast instead of the usual one.
They were smaller than regulation size, however.

Far too tired to be in work today.

Need to learn to get to sleep early, have to literally pass out on the couch to achieve that though.

Removed my avatar to replace it with a different one.
Apparently, I'm too stupid to do this, or it won't let me do it!
