Not Getting the JobMuns asks - Did you blag your way through a job interview, only to be caught out? Is your photography portfolio full of other peoples work? Did your potential employers google your name, before offering you a lucrative contract and discover something from your past you would rather forget? How did you fail to get the job?

Fresh out of uni and back in my home town,I went down the job centre to see what I needed to do to get whatever benefits I'd be entitled to whilst looking for work.
They found a job for me on the spot, and insisted that I attend for an interview at that very moment. Having left the house in my scuzziest clothes, and without my wallet, I blagged a lift off my brother and turned up at some print company on an industrial estate, miles out of town.
Unprepared for the interview. Unclear on what job I was applying for. University dropout. Dressed like a tramp. In and out in 5 minutes. Was down at Manpower the following day, and into the temp job that led to my career within the fortnight. I'm adamant the government owes me 2 weeks JSA.

sounds fairas long as you're happy and not crying in the toilets each day wishing your life was different. Not that I do that... much.

I'm held in very high regard by my peers in the "people who shove numbers around spreadsheets" industry.(
