I am being made redundant next Friday 31st. I went for an interview on Friday and you know when everything seems to right for you. I was convinced that I had got the job, the big perk was you were able to buy meat at cost price. Just had a call this morning I didnt get it, it was between me and another person and the only reason she got the job was that she lived 5 mins away rather than 20 mins like me. Am so gutted and down in the dumps - feel a bit lacking in confidence.
I have got a second interview for another job on thurs and another first interview tommorow and thurs morning.
Just need a boot up the arse
What |I really want is a job 2 days a week for 40 grand a year or better still bag a rich bloke and not have to work at all

Chin up skint! You've just said the only reason you didn't get the job was you didn't live closer. Well in my opinion that's just pot luck. What you've actually said, is that they told you that you were good enough to get the job; so keep at it, and sooner or later, you'll be the one who lives closest.
And if you get the 2 days/40 grand job, will you put a word in for me?

Awwwwwwww Skint hon- keep smiling, I went back into the job market two years ago after a short spot of time off and I found how much I loathed interviews! Then like buses three jobs were offered to me and I decided to take the one that was 5mins round the corner! Glad I did as I was promoted within months, get a reasonably fat pay check and best of all spend most of my day scouring the net (sad sod etc!)

Hey skint, at your next interview talk with a funny accent and pretend you havent lived in this country for long, people like that seem to be getting all the jobs at the moment!!!! Seriously though, dont lose heart, you werent meant to get that job cos theres an even better one with your name on it, thats if the blonde good looking girl from Poland doesnt get it first!

come on skint cheer up the next job will be far better and you will be glad you didn't get the first one, if all else fails Brad Pitt is looking for a nanny and all these cellebs go for the nanny so just think how much you could sell your story to the News of the World for, on second thoughts I think I had better take the job as you are in a depressed state I wouldn't want to you to have to suffer the trauma of having to shag Brad.

Agree with OB, your handsome prince is just around the corner - just don't kiss too many toads while you're waiting!!

Thanks for all your good wishes. You are nice guys to have around when the going gets tough.
Overbent - you definatly put me off Toad of Toad Hall for good.
