I am now gainfully employed...it had to be done after all...what with my flat still on the market, steadily depleting funds and boredom as a constant companion...what's a girlto do...right?
AND…I have staff…after promising myself that I would NOT do that to me EVER again…alas there are only four and they are all male…heaven!!!
While considering my current position, I went for an interview, on arrival something felt familiar and I realised I had actually interviewed there some seven years ago. I distinctly remembered not liking the individual I met, however, operating on the assumption that far too many years had passed to encounter the same person, I proceeded…you know what I’m going to say!!!
The only difference about this meeting was that she “knew” me…had heard "sooo" much about me and speculated on why I would “give up” such a “marvellous” job in the middle of a recession…she thought I was “verah brave” …anyways…halfway through the interview, answering the questions like I was auditioning for Mastermind I noticed no one was writing anything, with competency-based interviews this is a must, it dawned on me that I was not actually being interviewed but brought there to be gawped at!!!
Later, a former colleague received a call, asking for the “low-down” on me…what a wasted afternoon as the conclusion was made that it was not a good fit by me and I was over-qualified, by them!!!
