I actually failed Baseline Check Enhanced

Thanks all who have commented. I did indeed declare all speeding points. I see a couple of u have agreed that I'm being fobbed off.

C**ts should never be allowed to do this! I will put it behind me but just wish there was a formal avenue to express my thoughts and views on the whole process as it stinks.

Bye for now.

The more I think about this the angrier I get. I got offered the job within minutes of leaving the interview. A few inside buddies told me that I was considered the ideal candidate. Then not to get it in this way is infuriating.

How do I write directy to that Jacqui Smith woman?

Naturally not, It Would Be Wrong of You To Do So...

NIWBWYTDO Which leg?

I thought speeding fines were pretty much ubiquitous these days? Anyone not been ticketed?

At the risk of not tempting fate, me.

Then they would say that he was over-qualified and reject him.

Once they have their mind made up there is nothing to be done.

Indeed. A chap was telling me the other week about going for a (permy) web role at a newspaper (the one on pink paper). They told him that they didn't think he'd find the job sufficiently challenging after the kind of work he'd done at <not the biggest search engine company>.

He reassured them that this wouldn't be a problem, and that although the work wouldn't be on the scale he was used to he was sure he'd be perfectly happy with it. So they then said that he didn't seem sufficiently motivated to take on a challenging role and showed him the door

It depends...

Sorry, I just can't let this go.

I was told by the agency and the HMPS that I'd failed SC security clearance. But the HMPS HR dept head office in London have said I didn't fail security clearance but "pre-employment checks". They also like to say at the end of every piece of correspondence that there is no appeal process. However, I've found this:

Something stinks here.....there is no way I have been treated honestly or fairly as the recruitment code aims to achieve. I think I need a solicitor. However, any free advice from u guys would be welcomed.

Tell you wot, as I'm on the bench I'll use my clearance to do the job you tell me what to do. My margins are quite reasonable...

Not since 1990 - I have a foolproof way of avoiding getting speeding fines.
