And another one bites the dust.....

Oh phoenix I'm so sorry. You do know it's not you, other than being too well qualified, don't you? (West Country spring daffs)

So sorry phoenix you were definitely over qualified for the position and they felt you would not stay. I know it's a b**m*r and anything we say won't help, but hang in there (((hugs)))

PHO --((HUG))

That happened to my DD2 as well, dragonfly, and she had put in so much preparation and was so keen.

What a shame Phoenix obviously over qualified for the position something must come up for you soon.
This last week my DS1 advertised for part-time staff at his Sainsburys Local Store and the two people who the job centre sent for interviews turned down the position when offered,and the positions did not carry 0 hours contracts they where for permanent 24hrs a week he is finding it hard to staff his store and has to keep having staff transferred from the big store to cover.
Dragonfly1 I feel for your DD when companies do that but they have to advertise internally as well as externally don't they my DD found that as well as,she was convinced the positions had already been sorted before she went for final interview.

Hugs, Phoenix. My daughter is going through the whole been-made-redundant,-cant-get-a-job thing at the mo. It's such a worry. And we live in an area where jobs aren't quite as scarce as where you are but she still can't get one. She's got down to the last two candidates twice, and lost out to someone already working for the company.

I was thinking the same thing as charleygirl

That is such a pity. I am well aware that jobs are scarce in your neck of the woods. I think that you may have been over qualified.

oh, bums! I suppose it that doesn't surprise me really - they'd have been afraid you may have encouraged the staff to think! (Even if it was Waitrose - sorry that's probably racist/sexist/mindist or something). What happened with the fish farmy place?

Pity though, they get good bonus's (bonus'? bonusi?).

So sorry phoenix, it must be very depressing. I'm lucky enough to have a pension, small but adequate, so am out of touch with the job market. Where are all these jobs our government reckon they've created??
Good luck with finding something.

Oh dear* phoenix* it just isn't your time for things to go right. I do hope you can stay positive,as hard as it must be for you, things must change sometime.
