vodafone are cunts...
sorry for length :/

after leaving tesco for better money/prospects/dignity, i decided to apply for a job at a local vodafone callcentre. i applied through a recruitment agency, and proceeded to get a phonecall from said company. they asked whether or not i was comfortable doing a phone interview, where as i proceeded to tell them that you cannot judge a persons skills, personality and teamwork ability by listening to a voice at the other end of the phone - but yes, i will do the interview over the phone. he was silent for about 30 seconds, then carried on with the interview right there and then.

i didn't get the job, based on no call centre experience.

cue 6 months down the line, and i work at a 1st line technical support line for a certain cable broadband company. acquiring several certificates to say i am more than able to work in a callcentre, handle customers, type at a speed faster than the vodafone interviewer could wank and can provide exceptional information towards over-the-phone tech support, i reapplied for the vodafone job with no intention of working there.

the same guy picked up.
"have you applied for a job at vodafone before?"
"yes, i have"
"and what makes you believe that you can try for the job again?"
"well, this time i'm more qualified to do the job than you."

i proceeded to rinse out my semi-qualifications, to which after we finished the converstion. somehow after the last comment i made, i was accepted for the job, but told vodafone to shove their job up their arse for having no trust in anyone who doesn't have a pretty sheet of paper to show their skills.

fucking cunts.
