Oh my God, everything has gone wrong!

No one is the ultimate judge, yet they are in a position where they do judge, and harshly. What chance is there for someone like me in a world like this? My bad luck seems to be more than bad luck, it indicates a deeper problem. I just wish there was something for me in this world. Since when did everyone else get so f**king perfect?

Try it, and see if you think anything productive is highlighted. Believe it or not, there are useful concepts in there.

Welcome to the corporate world, Rich. It's populated by flawed human beings who can **** your **** up. If you find a place where everyone is professional and friendly, count your blessings, they are few, and generally don't stay that way forever.

I can give you one piece of advise only, Rich...

Do what your parents did: get a job

Andy:

Well what a corker of an interview, I am expecting a positive outcome. The one thing I must remember - I have had so many damn interviews I have actually become quite good at them

[Ecthy]

Well then become a professional guy-to-be-interviewed

[Provost Harrison]

I already am, I am trying to change careers...

That Utne test is less a test of whether one has emotional or not, than it is a test of whether or not one is a robot.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Using, adapting and controlling emotions is very different from not having them.

SH*T! F*CK! Why do things always seem to work out like that. There were 2 people for that interview. I was the older, far more experienced, more confident and outgoing personality with experience so relevent and the chemistry was so good that the job should have been mine. I DON'T UNDERSTAND how it went to the other fresh graduate. Why is life being so cruel to me? I just don't understand. I try and do the right thing, all my life, but I just get kicked in the teeth

I have always been one to be a believer in action and reaction. But recent events have defied that. All I see is how volatile humans are and how I am at the mercy of their whim. Sometimes I think death would be better than this.

Remember, people who are given interviews have the required qualifications. Other than who has better skils and experience, they also want to find somebody who can fit in the company. So either they think that the other guy fits in the company better, or somehow your body language messed you up.

However, since your interview was not taped, we cannot tell which is which.

Hmmmn this sucks, being sacked 2 days before the new discrimination laws came into force looks highly suspicious.

[Provost Harrison]

I seem to be against some sort of personality fascism. Why can't people just give me a chance? I try and do the right thing, got good qualifications, work hard, but still, it just isn't right, even though other people seem to lack any of these qualities. What is it? When will there ever be a level playing field?

[Urban Ranger]

Maybe your anger and cynicism showed through during the interviews.

Seriously, everybody gets bounced during interviews. As I said, since we can't look at your tapes, we cannot tell if it's your fault.
