Just got an e-mail back from a peed off agent saying that my CV didn't meet the requirements. Did a quick check and found I had applied for the wrong role. Did a bit more of a check and realised that whilst the job headers seem to load promptly, the content takes longer and it is possible to have header and content for 2 different jobs!

Plus I cannot stand reading a role description that's nearly two sides long and then the last line is "Previous Financial experience a must". I just send my CV in to waste the ****ers time. Why not put that first and give everyone a break?

No, I mean that I am so fast that I actually hit the 'Apply' button on the job header I wanted but that was still displaying (and working with) the incorrect role. As I had previously read the content I presumed I was applying for the role in the header and not the role that was previously loaded!Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSo what you actually mean is that you ****ed up?

Sending loads of tulipe CV's would be a good way to bring down a job website.
Is short-selling still legal?
