Truthfully it is an excellent role but as others have said it makes me increasingly cautious as they a)are plainly incompetent b)like the employees to be performing seals.
...Throw me another fish Sir...bark, bark

As some of my friends know I have been in the process of selection for a particularly meaty role for a few weeks now....so far I've suffered...
Now they have got back saying that they have a concern or two on my ability to deal with difficult colleagues (don't even go there as someone has plucked that one right out of their backside)! and it hinges on my reference checks.
I won't go into the role or who it is with as I believe it not fate-ing things but I tell you....I have had enough. I am not sure that I would even want to work with these people now.
ENOUGH!:curse:
- a telephone interview
- a face to face interview with the General Manager
- a face to face interview with a would be peer colleague
- a face to face interview with the current incumbent
- a psychometric personality test (nope they didn't find one)!
- a face to face interview with the National Manager
- a face to face interview with a client HR Director

And while you're at it tell 'em their interview process sucks monkey balls and will result in them only employing people who have no self-respect are desperate enough to see the whole sorry thing through because no-one else will employ them.
And when they say 'Look Buster, that illustrates what we have been saying' just fire back with 'You ****y little ****y ****, you stick your contract where the sun don't shine'.
And THEN they will give you the job

Tell 'em to stuff their job up their arse, no job is worth that much hassle.

Stage 2 involves a horse head and making them an offer they can't understand.
'kin companies ... some of the recruitment bollocks people have to go through and THEN look at the half-wits that get employed anyway. Know-nothing turds straight from Uni who have no grasp on the real world and are only interested in imposing their pretentious views (cultivated by years in the company of their tedious friends at the Uni bar) on the poor unfortunates that just wish them a few hard knocks in life so they can see what suffering is about ... the whiny little shits.
Time for a new thread, "A Degree, pointless or what?"
My hangover is better, thanks.![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
And no, I haven't got a degree

My wife has three degrees ... we've done all the obvious jokes ... she still can't parallel park for sticky toffee though, which makes all the certificates in the world meaningless when stuck in a tight spot and she has to hand the car over to me

You lightweight! I thought I could sense a slight inebbriation (oh who cares if it is spelled incorrectly)! last night. Been a while since my last hangover.
I appreciate your support on the stick your job matter.
