    Wondering if I'm under any sort of obligation to tell them when I get interviews? I'm thinking not, but this whole thing with the 'Black Box' aspect I can see them trying to threaten me if I don't tell them. Already figured out what I'm going to do when I land a job, can't wait to see their faces :D

    Er and I would be OVER QUALIFIED for them dear.

    If I got turned down for an accounts job as I had too much expereince I have a good chance getting one of these crap jobs that you haven't got either.


    Oh I dunno.

    Even MacDonalds prefer staff who can be polite to people and can manage to communicate without swearing......"Dear" !!

    I can see why a job where you are well away from a business's clients or customers would be preferred by your employer......if you had one of course .

    Shift work perhaps .... ?

    I haven't worked 9-5 in years -so much more civilized to start at noon and finish early evening :)

    You are probably one of these people who think the unemployed want to be!

    Why is that ?
    Are you a mind reader or just jumping to ridiculous conclusions.....dear ?

    Paranoia is a dreadful thing to live with ....you have my sympathy.....dear.

    Your punctuation could do with a bit of work too btw. You really should think about those classes. I'm sure they'd explain to you when to use capital and when to use lower case letters correctly too (That's big and little letters to you-dear).
