My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Give 'emA call.
If you've not got the job, it won't do any harm.
If you have got it, they'll appreciate your enthousiasm.
Wait until this afternoon though.

Only one employer has ever rung me back when they said they wouldand that's where I'm working now. In every other case, I've been offered a job only to have found a better one in the meantime. I'd like to think that it might jog the disorganised oddnuts into action in the future to stop missing out on good employees, but I doubt it.
The day before I started this job, I was called back by someone with whom I'd communicated only by voice mail (in both directions) six months previously. He seemed to think that we had spoken, said that they were very interested and wanted to arrange a meeting. This would have been in a different industry where I had desperately been trying to find work six months earlier. He was quite put out when I told him I was starting a new job the following day. I do wonder why, if they were so interested in my 1337 skillz and relevant experience, it took half a year to call me back and he was unable to recall that we'd never spoken because he was permanently unavailable. Oh, yes; bureaucracy.
