--- Quote from: Saffy on August 30, 2011, 17:28:47 ---I applied for a few cherry picked jobs that are more in my field(s) and experience and have had a 2nd interview for one last week.
I'm waiting for the outcome and am so near puking today as I am anxiously waiting for what is a life changing decision. Thought I would have heard today but nothing so another restless nights sleep. I was barley nervous for the interviews but I'm a mess now.... out of my control I guess.
In other news I have another interview this Friday for a higher paid job but rather work for this other company if I can and not have to attend.

So come on then?
Saffy:
Not heard yet... have called and the M.D's are out the office this morn, but no decision has been made according to guy I spoke too.
Will take my mind off it by fitting new exhaust section to defender, give me something to swear at.

I applied for a driving job with a well known Warwickshire 4x4 manufacturer. They use an agency for all their jobs and after an initial email application I was told someone from the agency would ring me. When they did they did the exchange of names and pleasantries and then asked whjat my degree was in. I don't have a degree and didn't think one would be necessary for delivery and test driving. They told me it was 'well known 4x4 manufacturer's' policy to only employ graduates.
I have been working over 30 years and have held senior positions in IT and consultancy companies and that is the first time I have been asked about my degree. I was only looking for some fill in work because my real job is very quiet at the moment.

:grin:
