You get to the stage that you feel you'd accept almost anything, just to get back to work. However, in respect of the second crew, the flip side of the coin is that with such a lack of attention to detail, would you really want to work for them? They'd probably age you by a decade over the course of six months and rack up your BP!<BR/><BR/>About two months ago it was reported that a redundant solicitor had finally had a job offer after about six months and - if I remember correctly - 872 applications. But when you looked at a sample you could see that not all were relevant to his experience and therefore a complete waste of time.<BR/><BR/>The market is awash with candidates and where there is work, the employers can be very picky on criteria. Thus it's best to apply for as much as possible, but to keep it focused. And where there is focus, let it show. Sounds like you are doing this, but just happened to come across a band with steamed up glasses over their eyes and a lack of electrical activity in the brain region.<BR/><BR/>But you are getting some work and more work, which is a good sign. Good luck with your future applications and networking opportunities!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm glad you stopped on the spending government money issue, as we all know what spending tax-payers money is about these days.

Evidently not. Perhaps you should inform them that, although they presume to be a literary organisation, the word "sorry" is not yet obselete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
