You haven't had it 5 minutes!Cars poorly again, 2nd emergency visit to the vets in 3 weeks .....not looking promising.
I once interviewed a guy for a project engineer role in my team in Paddington who swore he was definitely the best candidate that I was going to interview for the job.Just interviewed someone that told us we were wrong about everything we're doing and need to scrap everything and let him rewrite the code from scratch as it'll be much better. Told the head developer he doesn't know what he's talking about, and his 25 years experience are nothing compared to the knowledge they could bring. Also failed to answer any question.
EDIT: They said they wouldn't put their camera on during a first meeting for security, yet we had their CV. The way some questions were skirted around was like they had a team of monkeys googling what we said and they just jumped between screens picking random words to repeat. It was painful to stay professional. TBH the whole recruitment process is painful, but thats what happens when you work for a company that pays low.
Cat, not car.....stupid fat fingers of mineYou haven't had it 5 minutes!
I knew exactly what you meant!!!Cat, not car.....stupid fat fingers of mine
I think one of my stand out ones was a field engineer that didn't have a driving license, asked us to put his mate on the insurance and he'd learn to drive the company van with his mate sat in it!I once interviewed a guy for a project engineer role in my team in Paddington who swore he was definitely the best candidate that I was going to interview for the job.
He couldn't answer any questions even when we simplified one to how he would test a phone.
One of the lifts wasn't working and it took 20 minutes to escort him out during which time he continually told me what a great interview he'd had.
He ended up putting a formal complaint in to HR for not being given the job and I had to spend months justifying my and my fellow interviewers' low scores.
When you say "your trousers", one hopes that you meant his trousers, rather than your trousers...When peeing at a public urinal, is it acceptable to have your trousers pulled down around your arse? Because today I found myself stood next to a gentleman who apparently thought the answer was OUI, OUI.
Glad tidings of great joy I bring, to you and all mankind.If you have HIS trousers pulled down around YOUR arse then that adds a whole other level of complications...
Don’t they become your trousers then?If you have HIS trousers pulled down around YOUR arse then that adds a whole other level of complications...
So did they swap trousers or what? Is that what blokes do in the loo? Asking for a friendDon’t they become your trousers then?
The loos at Manchester Piccadilly station.I'd like to know which loo. So I can steer well clear.
You should be an a fantastic mood, she thought you looked half your age, and is probably wondering if being a spiteful cow has aged her more than you!Been challenged by a loud mouthed bus passenger when I sat down after using my bus pass getting on
"Excuse me!!! can I ask how you have managed to obtain that bus pass when you are clearly no where near old enough to have one and shouldn't be using it. I'm 62 and I dont even have one!!!"
Me ..... "Because I'm 66"
Her , obviously not at all believing me
" Are you sure????You only look in your 30's"
Silly old cow got me in a bad mood then all around the Xmas fayre
Twice?The loos at Manchester Piccadilly station.
Weirdly, the same place I have twice had the misfortune of standing next to men overtly wanking into the urinal, I'm not sure what it is about those toilets but I may have to hold it in next time!
Assassins - We are Recruiting!It is the modern way*.
Just be 'positive' and ignore all failures. Keep going until you are selected by someone else who got there the same way.
You can see little else in our governing classes**.
* Having said 'modern', it's been around for a long time, but really ramped up in the last 10-15 years.
**Braverman, Patel, Kwarteng, Truss, Johnson, Shapps, etc, etc...
"If I was given them for no cost, what would I let them have a go at?" That's a good test to apply.
