That sucks.
I've got a pretty cynical attitude towards the whole, application/resume/interview process for finding jobs. Ove the years I've sent out that many resumes and been to a stack of interviews but never got a job that way. With the exception of teaching in high school every other job I've had has come from a referral. I'm a firm believer in the old saying about who you know rather than what you know.

It feels like that. Public service is worse. Wait <= 3 months for a decision only to find out that the transparent, responsible process found you unsuitable for the job without any defined reasons why (other than "you were not the preferred applicant").

Definately. At one stage I was working as an external contractor for a particular government department developing their intranet. An IT manager position was advertised and all the folks within the department were talking me in to applying for it since they thought I'd be perfect for it. I went through the whole application addressing selection criteria etc and then the job went to someone else less qualified within the government. Apparently the job was going to that person all along. Advertising the position was only a formality. I could have contested the decision but I didn't really feel like getting a job as a result of a protest - probably not a good way to start in a new workplace. It just annoyed me that so many people there thought I should have got it (it annoyed them too) and it went to someone else on a decision that had nothing to do with merit or suitability. Jobs for the boys.

Well I finaly got fed up putting up with deadheads and dole bludgers telling me how to do my job so I resigned from the busses and went out working for myself.
I am now a gasfitter working from day to day, from phone call to phone and enjoying a variety of work.
so there, a bitch and a solution in one

Good to hear your still breathing LD.
I was starting to wonder, considering your age and all.

I hate mortages. Every psy I'm left with a little under $300 a fortnight after the mortage man has taken the other $900 or so. And I'm living by myself.
I need a boarder....

Neither can I. I also have to borrow from the Boomer Bank, ie the parents. I hate doing that too.
