Your time would be better spent discussing what you can do to improve your chances than 'lolling' about what you did or did not wear.

Well, I only posted it for people on here because every time I go to interviews or work placements, people on here keep telling me the following (did you wear your t-shirt) just saving them time by asking that's all.

When I have an interview I always check out the route using journey planner, Google maps & walkit. I visit the location ahead of the interview so I am confident I know how to get there - I also know how long it will take. I research the company, consider what I can bring to the company and the position.

Something to consider.

Not read it I'm afraid... but does this diagram explain it ?

As this thread is [STRIKE]in danger of going[/STRIKE] totally off topic - as in not suitable for this particular forum - I'm going to finish by wishing gay_guy all the best with getting the job you've had the interview for. I sincerely mean that

People fail to understand the psychological things for unemployed people, when I was not working I could pre plan route, time to get there including if I take a wrong turn etc and still get confused on the day.

Its all too easy to say what YOU would do especially when you may have not been in the same sort of position exactly i.e if you pay for bus fares and have a interview in another town which costs £8 return you cannot afford to pre visit the place, to talk about using google maps when that thought would not cross someones mind or think about what happened in the days before google maps!

Its just like saying one person takes time off work as a family member has died of a illness and another employee took no time off when they had a family member died so why should you as they compare others situations to their own and say since they can handle it why cant others.

So you could dismiss the advice given. OR....both the employed and unemployed alike can take the advice offered on this thread and learn from it.

Of curse, they wouldn't have had the guts to say it in the real world.

If you are the sort if person who resorts to violence when people say things that you don't like, it does not bode well for your future.

How do you manage to get ahead in life with such a short fuse, and propensity to violence?

You come across as a thug with posts such as the above.
