Crap

[nadriel]

Well, that's just crushed my good mood from the last few days.

Just finally heard back from the company that I interviewed with. I didn't get the position- apparently, despite being "the most technically gifted candidate" and "having one of the best personalities of all the candidates", I wasn't what they were looking for.

Well, shit.

*hug* Sorry, mate.

Oh, and I think we're cancelling tonight's 7th Sea session. I'm getting some mixed messages from Jon and Maria. Will let you know as soon as I do -- keep an eye on your e-mail.

Okay- but I'm still up for socialising regardless, if you're interested. I await the emails :-)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Huh, what were they looking for, then?

[nadriel.livejournal.com]

Buggered if I know...

[scorpionchild.livejournal.com]

Well, my question echoes karohemd's... What the hell do they want from this person then? It makes no sense...

Sorry though babe *hugs*

Keep looking though... there is a job out there for you! And in the meantime - why won't you temp?? Why o why?????

Am emailing you now, viz a plan for Sunday/Monday

I have started looking into temping, but unfortunately, I'm currently competing with lots of students on their holidays...

If we both keep bullying him, then he might actually look into temping properly.

Alternately Mike, not sure if you could do syadmining (on the grounds I don't know techie stuff enough) but allezbleu has a post up they're hiring.

I have my reasons for not looking into temping before now, but this was my last job hope for the time being, so temping it is.

Be warned, once I start temping, I'm unlikely to be much fun to be around.

[nadriel.livejournal.com]

Um, I can't see anything on there- is it perhaps a friendslocked post?

[matgb]

Yes, ooops. She'll pretty much add anyone if they ask, so ask her I guess, there's no contact details on the thing but...

hich of you fuckers are currently looking for work?

We are looking for an Operations Systems Administrator ( my job, basically ) to come work for Shazam Entertainment. Must have : sysadmin experience, Linux skills, H/w skills. networking, coding a bonus. Lots of WFH. Pays not great but benefits are good including lots of days off and the most laid-back boss evah! oh and they dont give a shit what piercings/hair you have either :)

Anyway poke me if youre interested :)

Sure you can figure out the stuff you don't do, and well, you'd be working with the new girl from Ultraviolence so it's got to be worth it, right?

[nadriel.livejournal.com]

Nah- don't have the right skillset, sadly.

[glamgothruthy.livejournal.com]

man, you seem to suffer from the same inflinction as me, despite being the best person for the job, we don't get it.
FUCK THEM
i feel your pain i am in a similar mood myself atm...

and i can't even seem to get temping work..

I think I see the problem "having one of the best personalities of all the candidates". They were obviously looking for mindless wage slaves without any personality.

Good to see you in Reading btw.

oh Crap. Sorry babe.

I have to say, I think the world of Human Resources needs a big hard smack, quite frankly.

Based both on my own experiences and what I've seen of others', I just don't see how anyone can actually manage to get a permanent job. And when they do pick people for jobs, they always seem to be the most obviously unsuitable, useless munters around.

I can only account for it through the Dilbert theory: incompetent managers seeking to keep the talent pool below/around them shallow.

Sorry for the rant - but I think I know how you feel.

Eh. Got scared of you, didn't they?
