Not good enough for scheduled interview X 3

[NotGoodEnuff]

On here for traffic and stories.

I had an interview cancelled today that was for tomorrow. This was the 3rd time it had been re-scheduled. I asked the recruitment agent when they wanted to interview again, he said they didn't, as they were hoping for better CV's.
Such as slap in the face, 1st interview I waited an hour for them to ring, before the agent emailed to say that the client couldn't interview me.
2nd interview was cancelled an hour before it was due to start.
3rd interview was cancelled today - so at least 24 hours notice.
But no chance of a 4th interview date as they don't think I'm good enough :(

I've been out of work for 7 months and I have only worked 7 months in the last 2 years so I have reference issues.

I can't claim benefits as I'm a single woman and as I'm living with a man the UC people think we are a couple as I don't pay rent.
My friend doesn't want to take rent from me when I'm not working.

Don't know what to do?!

Anyone else got any rude interviewer stories to share?

I'm not sure what the mortgage states
But it's as you said he is sort of supporting me that's why I can't get UC and will find it hard to challenge

Either he'll throw me out one day or I'll get a job.

Need to read up on homelessness soon, may start a new thread to see what I need to do.

Sorry they have messed you around. I agree with PP they don't sound worth the hassle anyway.
Have you seen if you can claim for "new style" JSA? I wasn't able to claim UC when I was made redundant but I still got JSA.
I had no rent to worry about as I was living with my partner and he was working but I still needed to eat and get to the job centre and interviews...You can't live on nothing.

I only worked 7 months in the last 2 years, so hard being in and out of work, once you take a temporary job the permanent marker is closed. So, JSA not an option.
I have no money, all I have is books and internet. I will struggle to pay my £10 giff gaff soon. I'm trying not to put on weight as I can't afford to buy any new clothes ( I have loads of nice size 8 clothes that I can't afford to grow out of)!

This thread was meant to be about interview horror stories not my UC and money issues, but thanks anyway.

Lucky escape.

Any employer who is stupid enough to put candidates through three rounds of interviews is not worth wasting your time.

Two interviews is more than enough to select a candidate or realise they need to re-advertise.

They have been disrespectful to you throughout the process (waiting an hour?, WTF...). Move on and continue applying for things.

You can still get benefits. The fact that you don't pay rent means you cannot get housing benefit but it does not mean you cannot get unemployment payments. It is not up to the agency to decide that you are a couple...you are simply staying with a friend and he does not support you financially.
