Happy "N* hours after halfway through the year" day
* Replace N by whatever time has elapsed after the exact halfway, depending on your time zone.

Damn it man. Get your titles sorted out. I thought Gyles Brandreth had gone! It was cable sweaters!
Have to say I miss the old Saturday Night shows such as his. John Bishop just doesn't cut the same kind of mustard for me.

Hi All,
Operation get a job hit a bit of a skid. I had a telephone interview this morning that went side ways...I was under the impression that company did thing A from there web site, in actual fact that do thing B (and was told I needed to do more DD, Due Diligence? Dungeons & Dragons?). One of the interviewers got up and left part way through. Just waiting now for the agent to tell me that I am not suitable... the worst part was I got the impression that I wasted their time.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You should not let them make you feel down. I am sure the problem is in requiter or in the company for not updating their site. I know you will find something more suitable.

The problem is, I have just had the agent on the phone, they lack clarity with what they want.

You just described every agent I've ever worked with
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Just once I would like an agent who had an idea of the role, I work on low voltage interfacing some how that got translated to kV testing!....

A few months ago I actually had a recruiter stumble through the list of requirement she was reading. She said she was new at it. I told her that she didn't have enough details to describe the job.
She them asked ME to help fill in the details so she could try to hire me.

You had to just give her the % he is getting if you got the job to save some of your time

Could be apparently I lacked 'zeal' (give me a break!) the best bit was when the MD took another call...

I don't know about zeal, but I've got loads of zest; ready for the lemon tart I'm making.

Dunkin Donuts, more of them you must have.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Don't feeel too bad. About 20 years ago I stopped an interview/interrogation by six people when I started answering the previous question. For those in the UK it was a bit like the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch but not so funny for me

They effectively wasted your time too, which is worse.
