The amount of d!ckheads you come across in the job hunting world are unbelieveable...
1) They leave a message on your phone about a job that they think is really good and they need... no demand... you to call them back straight away, you do, they're not there at the moment - they've gone to lunch (at 11:00 though? Hmmm...) so you wait until the next morning as they still haven't called you back, you call them back, the stupid tart on the phone called "tiffany" says "oh... she's actually gone on holiday now petal". "Thank you... That's just great... did she just forget about me then??" - "Well she has been quite busy" - "Bet she has".
2) You give them your life story about a millions times about what you're looking for... they take it all down on their systems... they ring you back a couple of days later and tell you about a job that doesn't even come CLOSE to what you asked for and you think "did you not hear words exiting my mouth?" - but it's ok though, even though it's not what I asked for, they make it sound great by saying that the job offers discount gym membership... "oh right... thats great! It's about a grand and a half less than what I need, but * it... i'll get down the gym"
Who the hell are these people??? (Apart from * morons). You ask them to do a simple job, so they ask you a "couple of things" to do that job - and they get it completely and utterly wrong!!!
How hard is it to find me a bloody job???
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH....
I relate to this, I've been there!
My advice is to approach any potential job as if you already have it! Most companies want you to hit the floor running so imagining yourself 3 months into it helps!
Obviously don't go over the top and fire people during your interview! I've discovered many interviewers frown on that!
Good luck,
