Exclamation You want the interview? That will be $89

So if you are not fed up enough with agents as useful as a chocolate fireguard, UK experience not counting, taking a lower paid, lower skilled job etc, Jetstar want to charge YOU if they accept you for an interview

Another thing that amazes me how some things are done in this country......

AND....

You could instead spend the $89 on...
a $40 baseball bat
and a $49 Jetstar special fare
then negotiate your own contract with the friendly staff on board.

Though I'm not saying you should
