    it is horrible but think of the next one you find. you were not meant to have this one and that means something better is out there for you!

    I'm sorry Olokia. :( its awful when you know you can do the job isn't it? I had that for the last one I applied for. It was a public sector position, n I didn't tick all the boxes, say the key words etc. now I have had enough and want out!

    I said all the key words as my OH works there and he gave me a list of things that they would be checking against and I revised solidly for a week to make sure I would get this job as it is the best company in the area.

    I'm sorry. :( my point was you can do the job, but interviewers can just be really picky. It's unfair, as it should just be about who can do the job the best/ has the most potential etc. But unfortunately if someone just decides they don't like you they will use any excuse.

    Make sure you ask for feedback, especially if you are so sure you did everything right. They should give it to you, and it will either be useful for your own development, or something to give a lawyer!!

    Oh Olokia *hugs* it's so hard when you think you are going to get it and then they go another way. I would echo what Jo said re getting feedback, it can really help.

    I stayed the same this week and am happy with that. My friend was up at the weekend and my mum which meant dinner out both nights plus take away last night and several cupcakes over the week so all in all happy to stay the same.

    Olokia - sorry to hear about the job. I'm finding it difficult to find one too, it's not a good time at the moment.

    Food today:
    b - HM energy bar
    l - dippy egg with two slices of toast
    s - chocolate mint nougat bar (81 cals)
    t - Pasta with sausages in a HM tomato and spinach sauce

    Not too bad today :)
