Thanks, unfortunately my view on the male population is not good right now. Sorry.

Wouldn't it be funny though if you were to take the job - find out if he has a girlfriend/wife/partner - and tell THEM what happened

Why should you lose out on a job - that really isn't fair, especially in the current economic climate.

Best of luck in finding alternative employment elsewhere

Thanks Shane, he already told me he has a girlfriend so I feel sorry for her.

Actually - perhaps you should take the job.....and see what happens.

Actually just because some planks with over-inflated egos think it's OK to ignore the law-doesn't mean the OP should too.

As it stands if the OP was applying for a job that pays more than she currently earns and his behaviour means she's losing out financially either currently or because she's losing a good career advancement in the future-the company would be liable for damages so I'd hope the company are taking it more seriously than a couple of posters here.

Um no - she is highly unlikely to make anything against this firm stick given the facts in her post so as much as we all wish the OP well, I suspect you should keep that advice to yourself.

Without at least one good, reliable, independent witness this is simply not going to happen.

Sadly, as I mentioned in my earlier post, this worry will probably also encourage the firm to do nothing about it.

I sympathise with the OP but it takes little imagination to come up with the counter story. "She was trying to advance her career before she even started work.........."

In my opinion the OP has done all she can. She has mentioned it to his boss. IF they have concerns about this chap they will no doubt have a word and it MIGHT help prevent it happening to somebody else.

If however the boss and the firm think / act in the way Pete111 fears then they will probably buy him a beer and say better luck next time.

Keep in mind too that if the OP makes a written complaint the "accused" will be able to get to see it. In the unlikely event he then took action for defamation the onus would be on HER to prove the allegation.

Sorry, it's nasty but that is the way it is.

I used to work for an idiot who thought young, female employees were there solely for his entertainment.

For years he managed to get away with it, (he was one of the owners of the firm so disciplining him was very difficult, although it was attempted) until the day he went too far, heavily spiked a young woman's orange juice and landed her in hospital with serious alchohol poisoning.

He started off with the same sort of behaviour described by the OP. Many firms crack down a lot sooner on boorishness than they used to, their insurers insist on it.
