    To say I'm miffed is an understatement.
    Tempted to turn up in jeans & trainers & say nothing.
    Total madness.
    I wouldn't mind, but it's an internal position, for which there are no other applicants.
    Instead of interviewing me they should leave me to get on with my job, and covering the other four vacant positions like i have been for the last 6 months. (furious)
    Not a happy camper.

    Just a total waste of time - only 3 other staff here at the mo, everyone thinks it's barmy. Apparently they have to check whether I have the skills for the job. I am the only person in this region doing this job, and have been doing it for ever. If I don't have the skills I'm not sure who does.
    My boss didn't have to have an interview for his job - he just got a new title & a pay rise. (doh)

    fart halfway through and pick your nose and eat it. Answer each question with a belch and keep rubbing your balls.

    I bet you you won't get the job :)

    That would be hard to achieve

    As I'm the wrong gender to do that - but an attempt to do it would probably cause a stir!! :D

    You've spent at least 5 of those 15 years on here

    Hope your boss isn't registered on the BBS - if he/she is, you are in serious trouble.

    If you paint yourself black, lop an arm off and become gay you will have no trouble at all.

    Anyway in all seriousness, good luck, especially with the ball scratching.

    Knew i could count on you

    for sympathy.... :'(

    Anyway, I'm just off to write some event programmes on behalf of the now departed events officer, after which I will arrange some meetings on behalf of the departed West Yorkshire officer, before I write some development plans for the new South Yorkshire officer. When our student placements come in, I shall supervise them. At some point I will take a look at the project that i am supposed to be working on.
    It's possible that you won't be seeing me on here for a while. :D

    I did say "Good Luck"

    But you don't need luck - just like Barnsley doesn't need luck.

    We will stay up, you will get your dream job, and SW will go down.

    Now does anybody know how to post an MP3 file on here - I've got the perfect one to celebrate SW going down.

    Surely if you need to apply for a new job

    That means your old job no longer exists so they need to make you redundant - 15 years should get you a decent wedge, then you apply for the new job as the only applicant and get it - job done

    or am I missing something :)

    You only get redundo if you leave the company - They have to advertise and go through the interview process to be seen to be fair.

    Just think yourself lucky they're aren't 4 of you being interviewed for the now 3 available job on reduced wages - That's what our company does.

    We layed 44 off the other week. **** times ahead /poo

    They'll be using it to practise good interview techniques for whoever conducts the interview, and it will be a good opportunity for them to give you a quick mid-term appraisal.

    Everyone's a winner :)

    It is likely

    That there is a HR policy that insists there is an interview prior to filling a position. My work place has this, failure to adhere to this could result in problems at a later date, if someone else considered themselves suitable for the position. Barmy but true.
