No, but I'm square so maybe I just don't notice.

An example.

I recently applied for a two bit job and it took a week to evidence the flippin thing, then had a PANEL of 4 people in the interview. I could understand it if it was a brain surgeons job but it wasn't And that's not the first time this has happened.

Nearly all jobs are through recruitment agents. They expect a bloody war and peace resume, then you get an interview if you're lucky. Then you have tests [regardless if you've worked your arse off and have qualifications] and then if you're really, really lucky you get to meet the company and go through more hoops.

Talk about trying to boil the freakin ocean

And these superfluous interview panels had the wrong idea about you how?

Sounds like a cushy job, who are you recruiting, hardcore porn cameramen?

I don't think they've invented an anti-shake mechanism that could cope.

Some are waterproof now though.

I wonder if 'automatic fanny recognition' is a recognised feature?
