Have you tried Wimpy's? From what I've seen of their service station staff they seem to be less picky than MacDonalds and BurgerKing

Actually, quite nice to fail at the interview to be honest.
It was between me and the other candidate. During the interview which took a ridiculous 2 hours I was quizzed constantly on technical, project management and stakeholder management at the highest level.
I fell short on the stakeholder management level. They felt that I had not dealt with the highest level, basically the CEO and the rest of the board. Where mine is all senior director/VP. So I just lacked a little experience/gravitas at that level.
I realised I didnt have the answers they wanted when I left and new I'd done about 80%. I was punching way above my weight on the role and feel quite happy I did so well.
