I only work 1 day a week. The place I work said there's some temporary work for another two days for 3 months (not consecutive) and would I be interested in applying. I sorted out willing childcare so I could earn a few more pennies should I be successful.
Interview this morning, they explained the month they would want me would be December, January & June/July. I went through the interview, giving answers, examples as I've had many years of experience in a very similar post, as well as shown I had done research by answering a question on the 'values' of the company.
I told them I was pg because I thought being honest and open was the best thing especially as I know them and as the job I do with them involves some lifting so they would've had to know today anyway. I'm due in July but said I worked up to my due date last time and this job is a sitty down job so should be ok.
So immediately after the interview they were whispering, I heard them say they'd have to ask advice.
Half an hour later one said 'did she agree?' And the other nodded.
Half an hour later I get told I didn't get the extra hours as the other candidate scored higher.
Now I'm not trying to be big headed, but I have 10 years of experience in a similar setting, have a degree and postgrad degree, hold my Microsoft office specialist certificates ( which was a specific question), gave examples of scenarios when asked, and said the correct things when they asked a couple of job-specific questions (as I've worked here and observed). And I already work in the office and vaguely know my way around the new job.
The only other candidate was a student, 20 yrs old, no work experience. I'm not saying she can't do the job but they've said they want someone who could just slot in straight away and not train much.
I'm probably raging because of hormones or something, but I swear it's because I told them I'm pregnant! I just want out of here ASAP today!!! Roll on 5pm!!!!
Sorry for the rant & epic post!
