I think you get to a point where failure becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
It's hard enough picking yourself back up when you're young but I'm 52 now and I reallyu feel I'm on life's scrapheap.
Oh well, at least it's only a short trip up to Clifton.....Last edited by Big Blue Plymouth; 31 January 2017, 14:02.Comment

You never know, I once did a technical test for a contract, answer a load of question on paper. Turns out I'm a ******* empty vessel without google and intellisense. But still somehow got the contract, sometimes you just have to be less worse than the next person.Originally posted by Big Blue Plymouth View PostI think you get to a point where failure becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

I think that's what he is doing, hence the "short trip to Clifton". Don't do it BBP, you're not a failure, even if you think you are. We all get dealt a tulip hand once in a while, it's called life. Forget about the crap interview, forgive yourself (v. important) and focus on the next one. If failure can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, success can be too.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostOr you could try and look to the root of the problem.
PS - if you get the next one, I'm on 10% (no VAT for cash)
