I had got wind that the company were not great to work for, crap money and a hierarchy of management that got more stuck their bums the higher the went up. Anyway with a job already and broadening my horizons I decided that if anything I needed to brush up on my interview technique. In I went and went through all the formalities interviewed by three la de da’s. It was painful all they went on about was how great they were in a brilliant company. The asked a few questions and at this stage was only really interested in the busty brunette behind the desk.

I've since learned they are awful to work for (don't pay anything for extra time worked yet expect you to work over your time regularly to get orders completed, make you leave your mobile home at home/in your car etc.etc.). Anyway, like I said an office job which I could have done with my eyes closed. The closing date had been really tight to when I saw the job so I typed up a revamped CV and stuck it in the post and thought I'd spell checked the whole thing....Then I got called for interview. They were really difficult in the interview, trying to catch me out at every turn and I don't mind telling you it was awful. It was pretty obvious they had no intention of offering me the job after the first couple of minutes. They even told me I wasn't really what they were looking for! Why bloody call me for interview then?!! I have an english degree and put in some waffle about good lieracy and spelling skills. So one of the guys picked up on this. Him: "So you've good spelling skills?" Me: "Yes, I think so" Him: "You've spelled 'education' wrong" (I put an extra "a" in for some reason. Me: "Have I? Gosh I'm sorry. I was rushing to get my application in as I would really love to work for this company (bluffing) and that must have slipped through the crackS. Sorry again." Him: "Well can you spell it for me now? That should be easy for some-one with a so called english degree" At this stage I had had enough, he was just trying to humiliate me! So I said yes and and spelled it for him then said "I can also spell 'prick' - P.R.I.C.K." and walked out of the interview. I wish I'd waited long enough to see his face but I literally ran out the door. Then burst into tears.....
