    went to an agency they told me to be there at 6am to get a lift but the guy said he goes 5:45 so I missed it.

    So I waited around for the office to open and had a tea in the back then manager came in and started cussing me down for not showing up and they said he's in there

    hur hur hur

    Well I told him the man wasn't there and the driver said have to be there earlier and they gave me a lift and it was a e job anyway.

    I wish they would -'in ahut up about jobs.

    Provide opportunity and or training and a salary that is enough. FFS.

    They asked me what could I bring to my job? I said myself and my packed lunch. Then they asked, Why should we give the posistion to you? Because I need the f--king money? Stupid, stupid questions.

    I have been to quite a few interviews where I became aware I had put alot of preparation into the situation to find the interviewers most ignorant and have to say it cuts both ways....so i would have to thinkabout what type of job I wish to apply for now and whether we are going to waste each others time.

    A job is a job, most people with the right support can do anything, but yet we go through this stupid ritual of interviews where one side tries to impress the other. Then the wrong choice is made...
