    With my reputation, as an employer I couldn't take the risk.

    I doubt they will give you a hard time over being out of work in a recession.

    Good luck!!

If they start giving me a hard time in the interview about being out of work I rather suspect I'll walk, rather than get involved in an pointless argument at that level. Well maybe not this time, tbh I'm getting to the point where it doesn't matter. Is there a DoleyScumbag forum somewhere???

    I assume that on top of the compensation, you'd have to reinstate yourself?

    Too right I would. I used to wonder why I was always successful at interviews in recent years until I had to do some recruitment myself and realised why. One day of interviews in particular was rather comical.

    Nope. When I phoned in sick I'd know I'd be lying.
