You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

I am luckyin that I already have a job. However, this being the NHS, any time you want to transfer (even between 2 jobs of the same skill) you have to apply. Then be shortlisted. Then called to interview.
I had an interview for a job on Monday that was actually lower skilled than the one I am currently doing. I got a phonecall yesterday telling me "oh sorry, we gave it to the other guy. You both did brilliantly in interview, but we felt he wanted it more."
Wanted it more?
Sweet St Shannon of Matthews.
How much fucking more did they want me to show? I never realised expert fellating of the interviewer was what was required to get the job. Maybe I had to cut off a little finger, Yakuza stylee, to prove my dedication. "Excuse me Carrot, see that bath of hydrochloric acid? Please hold your face in it for 3 minutes. That will show how much you want the job."
Cunts.

NHSI didnt get a job because of the 2 candidates, the succesful one said she wanted to progress out of the job she was applying for; so you appoint someoene who intends to leave ASAP rather than someone (ie me) who says he wants the job, and will probably eventually want to leave? Meh.

I blame those TV talent(less) showswhere they all have to show how much they 'want it' so that they will be picked over the other contestants.
"Yeah, he might be able to sing better than me, but I want it more"
Unless they mean the other candidate 'wanted' 'it' in the dirty old man kind of way.
"Look at that dirty bitch. You can just tell she wants it"

I hope this doesn't happen to meI have an interview for a much better position in the NHS this afternoon (two bands up from the one I'm on). I really, really want this one, hopefully, this'll come across in the interview... though not in a desperate way!
