    I recently went for a job interview there were many other students there and I was shocked to see I was the only person that had bothered to actually wear smart shoes and trousers everyone else was wearing jeans and scabby t-shirts, so its no wonder they don't get jobs! I also researched the company before I went. I was talking to one person outside and he didn't even have a clue about the postion he had applied for!

    My name is after old my hamster (weePuff) who was really hairy and looked like a little bear!

    I wish you and everyone who is actually making the effort good luck!
    Ugh, dontcha just hate that?! The last job I had (a natural cosmetics company) I had a group interview, and I already knew a lot about the company as I am a regular customer (I still brushed up on my product knowledge and what woulod be expected of me!) but some of the people there knew sweet f**k all about the company, and one didn't even want a job there - she already had one that apparently paid well! !!!!!!?! Why waste everyone's time if you're not bothered?! Needless to say (not to toot my own horn or anything!) they didn't get the job and I did *chuckle*
