Reply to: nhs interview nightmare

How did you get the gig without previous NHS experience Zips, they all seem to insist on that?

I'd worked in not-for-profit organisations before so they thought I'd be OK with the culture. They also wanted someone with broad experience, which seemed to be quite hard to find.

Getting back to the point, my nhs nightmare started when I got the gig

I blame Zippy

The hangover was the day before, I made it in for that. and that was Pogle's fault.

Would love to but unfortunately that won't be happening.

Oh and I did find out that my leaving present had been drunk by the guys at my old clientco, they gave me my leaving card, when I met up with one of them for lunch (didn't make my last day due to the heavy snow).

Oh well that's nice. It wasn't wasted then.

God, how ANNOYING. Assume pimp was suitably apologetic? You should ask him/her for compensation.

Apparently my interviewer told the pimp he should have paid more attention to my CV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are looking for program managers then you interview people with that on their CVs, I on the other hand am a project manager!!!!!

Well it wasn't a really wasted day, got brought out for 2 lunches and 1 dinner (thank you Zips and Mr Zips).

Can I have the 4 hours (travel) and 45 mins (interview) that I wasted on Wednesday please?

A whole day and 250.00 expenses, for a 5-minute dead-loss coffee-and-handshake interview. That's one agent who bumped himself to the bottom of the pile.

[ratewhore]

i want that 45 mins of my life back

Sorry - that's the cost of sale matey!!

Hope you didn't mention the icebergs.

There's plenty of them floating about all right, red colored- tape shaped things...
