Monday, Monday (part two)

My pessimism turned out to be correct, rather than my misplaced attempts at self-delusion. Yet another interview ends in abject failure. The truly infuriating thing is that, following some great advice from a recruitment consultant friend, I thought I'd performed much better, sold myself well, and got myself in with a chance. Turns out not. They'd bloody better give me some feedback, though. You wouldn't believe till you've tried it just how hard that can be to wring out of the average HR department (the words blood and stone come to mind), and when one does succeed it's often stuff like "your application was very strong but another candidate was felt to be more ideal for the post" which makes me, at least in my post-rejection paranoia, think that the real answer is more likely "we don't like your face" or "your Scottish accent would annoy our suppliers". So if anyone knows just what it is that's currently making me unemployable, do please tell - because employers won't!
