    Blimey ghost look at the price.Thats expensive.

    Didn't get the interview Beanie
    Ah Luc.

    Thats pants, truly truly pants. Have they said Why???

    I'm so sorry, I know how much this meant to you

    Apparently they really liked my CV (rolly eyes smiley) but I was too tax oriented and they are going for a senior manager rather than manager...

    The agent did say they might have something else coming up as they are in the process of making a few changes. I won't hold my breathe. Could be worse right...

    I was really taken by the job description too and apparently they are an awesome company to work for

    Sometimes (very often) I have found firms are very reluctant to employ people for positions if you are over qualified.

    If you are too positive in your approach they sometimes look on you as being a bit of a handful to manage as they know you will know your rights and take no !!!!!!.

    A lot of employers sometimes look for someone less qualified but who they know is willing to lick their boots and cause them no problems. I have seen it happen a thousand times where excellent prospective employees are passed over for lesser qualified people.

    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    They actually said to agency they will bear me in mind as the changes being made aren't final and something may come up.

    Ah well - I was already feeling pretty cack so its not like my day got worse or anything:o
