    Have you got hotel experience? The software is quite industry specific. Also I'm not trying to be rude but it seems as though you have a bad attitude. On a hotel reception you are the face of the business and I would imagine that they would want someone nice and friendly there.
    There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.

    I'd work on my anger management if I were you.

    'Disappointed' would be a far more reasonable emotion in these circumstances.

    And here's something else to consider:

    YOU didn't get the job. Why should that be THEIR fault? Perhaps you need to look a little closer to home to identify the reason for your failure?

    Recruitment is a tiring and expensive process. Trust me - they didn't deliberately spend the time and effort interviewing you just so they could waste your time and hack you off, and then, having done that for entertainment value, go to the cost of re-advertising and re-interviewing for someone to actually fill the role. Business doesn't work like that.

    They invited you to interview, that means that on the basis of your application so far they thought they may want to employ you. Something YOU did, or didn't do, at the interview persuaded them otherwise.

    Sorry, that sounds harsh, but not everything bad in life is someone else's fault.

    The fact that the job was apparently "readvertised" on a jobsite doesn't actually mean that is the case. Many jobsites scour the net/the press for adverts and simply reproduce them often well after the advertised deadlines have passed and the positions have been filled.

    If you want feedback its perfectly acceptable to ask for it. Give them a call. We do not offer feedback as a matter of course but will always respond to a candidate who asks for it.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com
