If I had a dog I'd kick it

[EternalOptimist]

I am bl**dy fuming
Drove from Manchester to the city for an investment bank developer role, took me 6 hours to get there and cost £100 in petrol. I had researched the interviewer, printing off his master thesis that I googled and stayed off the ale for a week , to get sharp.

First question - Why have you got so many jobs on your CV ? You dont seem to stay anywhere for more than a year

Second question - If you could have any job in the world, what would it be ?


It took the pr1ck the whole interview to understand the difference between a permie and a contractor. The permie IT dudes hands were shaking and he only chilled out and started to smile when the pr1ck left us to do the techie talk.

I just found out that they want me back for a second interview to meet a different team. Politely declined but I am boiling mad.

You don't seem to be "eternally optimistic" today EO. Perhaps a week off the ale is not good for you?

Without wishing to sound flippant -

Why have you got so many jobs on your CV ? You dont seem to stay anywhere for more than a year.

Understandable question coming from an IB hiring manager.

Yeh. Only a few years back I recall sitting in front of a bloke like that, at the tender age of 50 something being asked what my ambitions were and how I saw my career developing. Still, I did get the contract I suppose.

Drove from Manchester ......

Why do you live in Manchester?

Actually I'm sorry - I don't mean to be rude, I guess some people just don't have the choice

Feck off - Manchester is ace....

[chef]

Oi, Manchester is great..

-Plenty of choice of Restaurants
-far cleaner air than daaaan saaaf (no black snot from the tubes)
-people are far friendlier and actually smile (some even talk to you if ever you have the misfortune of going on public transport)
-you can take a taxi almost anywhere and it doesnt cost more than £10 (well £15 if you go from City to Airport but then you might aswell get the train)
-trams that provide a view rather than the armpit stinking underground
-30 mins drive from lake district and penines
-far more bricks n mortar for your £, i.e we have grass surrounding properties

yes ok it rains more than the big smoke but that just hardens people up a bit more

IMHO
