    You will never get a job if you treat potential employers the way you have treated people on this board.

    I very much doubt rbs wanted you to 'kiss their !!!!.' they simply want to employ motivated people that actually want the job and are prepared to work hard. Thus, they are going to want you to comment on why you want to work for such a company, and that generally means saying positive things about them. Why did you apply for the job in the first place?

    As for having an 'almost blank' cv. Well you need to do something about that. Not going on s1 because most of the employers want a full cv? That's really not a lot to ask for. Sit down, take an hour and come up with a proper cv. There bare lots of templates online if you need help.

    Just out of interest, would you employ someone who acted like that during an interview and couldn't even be bothered to write a cv. I wouldn't and I have plenty friends who work in HR that wouldn't either.

    You're quite obviously agitated and annoyed by what I say, which was not my intention, no matter what you think. So I won't say anything else. Good luck

    While i'm not going to get involved in the whole argument here, I will say if you have a problem with someone, click the user name and select send private message or hit the red triangle at the bottom right of the post, saves dragging more people in and losing the point of the topic.

    In respect to the CV, I would strongly suggest getting one together that shows the recruitment companies you are serious about getting a job. Almost all companies want a CV in application for a position, be it if applying directly or if through an agency.
    As you have already said you don't really care what you do, and i don't blame you with the call centre issue, some do it some don't.
    Also be prepared to have to do something outside of the realms of your degree.
    Here is the link to the temp jobs currently on Reed http://www.reed.co.uk/job/searchresults.aspx?l=Glasgow%2c-Lanarkshire&jt=4&set=0&ps=20 again it will need a CV but do keep trying, also search for other agencies that operate in the city, contact them with your CV and as they say if you throw enough mud at something, some of it will stick at some point.

    Good luck
    Sometimes i surprise myself by being right.
