If you didn't like me or I gave a shit interview (as I suspected I had), just say that, rather than 'we're looking for someone with more financial services experience'. Especially as I've worked for two banks, a finance company and the fucking financial regulator.

Caterpillar Feb 2013 4:02pm, 7 Feb 2013 7,394 posts	Quote Pin Caterpillar Yes that would wind me up Wobbling. I responded to an advert for people to work for one of the big consultancy firms a few decades ago and they wrote back saying I didn't fit the profile. That was pants. I fitted EXACTLY the profile they advertised and I can't imagine many people did. With hindsight I am delighted, because Management Consultants really grind my gears! Especially ones aged about 12 with no qualifications, experience, or ability to write grammatically-correct English. They come swanning in with their Pringle sweaters and Tony Jackin golf clubs, and their secret Masonic handshakes to Management not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling Business Information Analyst. Sitting on their loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads and uttering complete bullshit about leveraging the paradigm of the new cloud-centric business to customer service offering. Well I wouldn't become a Management Consultant now if they went down on their lousy stinking knees and begged me! Ba****rds.

They told me they were looking for someone more experienced. I once didn't apply for a job for which I had nowhere near enough years experience, according to the job spec. They asked me afterwards why I hadn't applied, as I would have stood a good chance of getting it. I've come to the conclusion that people writing job specs have no fucking clue.
