I had an email saying I'd been unsuccessful in my application for a job recently.
I phoned up the HR department to see why, and they couldn't even find my CV. I'm pretty sure they already had in mind who they wanted for the job and only posted the vacancy as a formality. Bunch of cunts.

I hate that
Had a couple of interviews last year, nailed them only to get rejected because they'd only advertised the jobs as formalities, already knowing who they were going to employ

The call I had with HR went like this:
"Well, we're looking for someone with project management experience"
"I'm currently managing a project on (jargon)"
"We also need someone with people coaching skills"
"I did a course on this" etc.. etc..

Basically I was perfect for the job, but not part of the clique.
