See, thats just rubbish I would never say that...
Get a new boyfriend. Plenty of them around tulip happens, this time on your cake. Move on and put it down to experience.
Simples.
Pwnd you!!
It's not a criticism though, it's admiration
That is plain crap advice, she's been with the guy for a few years. One 'tulip on a birthday cake' incident should not be enough to ruin it !! She should learn and move on from the cake, not the boyfriendWhen freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

As I say, I can't definitively prove it but I know what it looks like. Take it on board or assume it is sour grapes, it really makes no difference to me.Comment

Seven people over two agencies were rejected. Bear in mind we were there for four hours each, it isn't to be sniffed at.

Well one of the first things that got me thinking was we were told to take as long as we wanted. Now I haven't done an assessment centre in years but I would have thought working to pressure would be one thing they would look at (hence putting a time limit on it). As it happens it seemed to take about 4 hours (there was one guy still going when I left).
I point-blank refused to do any form of test for my current client (an IB.) Simply informed them that my c.v. and verifiable references were more than enough and they would get nothing more. At that point they dropped the test. I've now been here 2 years and ticking...
EDIT: To clarify, that's my opinion. So, please, let's not start the ten page flame-wars over this issue again! And if you disagree with me, please give me a PM, as I have a house that needs decorating and I'd be happy to "assess" your painting skills for free. Shouldn't take more than 4 hours / room.Last edited by nomadd; 4 November 2011, 14:14.nomadd liked this postComment
