Applying for jobs your not qualified for?

So you are still unemployed because you let pride and the fact you have to be their first choice stand in the way of getting a job. Way to go. That makes perfect sense. JSA is so much better than a paying job that I can see why you'd be on your high horse.

No I never said I had to be a first choice, just to be shortlisted would have been good in the first place. Her tone was not good when I tried to get her to reconsider and that I could do all the job spec.

It wasn't a job interview by the way, only an agency so no 100% guarantee I'd get one and why would I if I was told I was not suitable

I was still not meeting the criteria though so no idea why she then got in touch. Desperate I guess but I am sure she filled the job.

That may be the case but she told me, not once but twice that I was not suitable for the role as like for like I didn't match the criteria. If she then is going to say something different after finding my CV (the same CV) online 3 weeks later then maybe she should have not turned me down in the first place.

Perhaps she made a mistake?

I am sure you had your reasons for turning down the opportunity of another chance and if that chance was to provide me with a job, I would not let pride or bloody mindedness jeopordise that.

You don't normally make the same mistake twice, but still
