I'm applying for a job with the DWP
but unfortunately, they've redesigned their website, and the application form page has disappeared, along with the details i put on yesterday.
gah. Can't even get a job at the dole.

edit: Have downloaded a rtf version of it. Aaah. That's better.

Today I'm being interviewed for a job that may require me to forego female contact
and grow a dangerously unpleasant neckbeard.

your going to go for a job in game?

Our local GAME has girls that work there.
I think it's to help pull in the sweaty pocket miner demographic.

What I'm being interviewed for is far less social.

Steady on, I'm applying for a job, not selling my soul to Satan.

Linux tech support?

Now that's just an unreasonably accurate guess.
How did you know?

Because the only people who sport neckbeards are fatties and UNIX programmers, and you're no fatty.

Not yet.
Going from a job where I walk around for six hours a day to one where I sit down all day while consuming the same number of energy drinks is likely to leave me a little denser.

You're going to get diabetes.
Enjoy your feet while you can.

I may become the world's first crime-fighting linux techie just to keep the weight off.
Fancy becoming my sidekick?

I'm nobody's sidekick.

They do a pre-selection interview
before you even get a chance at a job, just to filter out the nutcases. I got offered the "pre-selection group choice" I think they called it - I turned it down for a proper job.

Good luck with it though. Have you tried ringing the jobcentre you applied for?

It's the one i sign on at now
Been there twice this week already. There's a 30/1 chance that I'll have an interview at TK Maxx in the next fortnight. Oh, the glamour....

*Hug*
I know how it is. Nowt more depressing than the jobcentre, except maybe the post office, and at least you can get out of there fairly quickly.
