I went for an interview just over a week ago and was told 'we'll let you know whithin 2 weeks'. Just had the woman who was running the interviews on the phone saying they shouldn't have said that and that they would let us know in August. Then she reminded me that they hadn't had my qualifications (I couldn't find them, so applied for transcripts) and that the minimum they would consider was HNC or VQ level 3. I don't know if my modules add up to these. Have called the unversity I went to and they said they'd see what they could do.
I'm a bit down because I really wanted to get this job. I thought I had done well at the interviews (all 4 hours worth of them). If my experience, abilities and references aren't enough then there's nothing I can do. I just feel like I'm being kept hanging on for another month to be told thanks but no thanks.
Also the place I worked has stuck me back in the job I was in 6 months ago. The project I was on came to an end. Everyone up-sticks and moved to another plant and never told me. I feel really abandoned and that although I worked hard, was not part of the team.
I know it's not a lot to be down about in the grand scheme of things but I'm so fed up and upset, I'm sittin ghere crying. I just feel like I'm not good enough.

Was the woman running the interviews a recruitment agent or working for the new company?

She works for the company. She was very nice about it all.

it is very disheartening, and not fair on you that they should change their story. can you line up a few more interviews so you don't pin all your hopes on this one?

when my company was recruiting, they used to take so long making a decision that invariably the person had got another job. they're much snappier about it now!

sounds like you need to get out of your current job. i'm sorry i can't help with qualifications etc. didn't go to uni in this country - don't know how it all works.

Unfortunately, the job I do is very well paid for what it is. The other company I was interviewed by are the only other ones who pay the same or more in this area.

The thing that makes it worse with my current place (I'm a man-tech and have been dumped back into a QC lab which I begged to get out of), is that I had been told I was on the list for the next manufacturing project. Also, I have experience as I was involved in the product manufacture before. The worst though is that the guy doing the day to day managing of the project, I considered a friend and he didn't even tell me.

I have been told the lab thing is only for 6 months. I suppose I just have to grin and bear it. I get so tired trying to be up-beat and happy at work when I thoroughly hate the place.
