My job isn't great but it allows me to be an insufferable know-it-all. More-so than usual I mean.

my job could be better.. don't love it, or hate it, but if i'd get to choose i wouldn't be working here.
may be the reason why i applied for school..

No, I don't need an attitude adjustment. You just need to fuck off.

What does a proper cover letter look like and what stuff should I put innit? Never made one and now Accenture is asking one from me.
Here's why.
I applied for an apprenticeship in Customer Service/Tech Support with BT (Telecomms company in UK). They accepted my application, invited me to an assessment center. I went in, kicked ass in the interview (Seriously fucking nailed it), passed both the English and Maths assessments, and felt great about it.
The day after (4th May), I got a call from the HR Manager, offering me the job. I said "yes! Thank you! That's great!" She said that they would go and draw up a contract for me to sign and will be in touch. So I went away and wrote up a letter to my boss to give her my 4 weeks notice, then handed it in that night when I went to work.
Fast forward two weeks (18th May), and I get a call from BT. It's the HR Manager. She tells me that I can't have the job that they've offered to me and I've accepted, because apparently my maths grade isn't good enough. I tell her the situation, I've handed in my notice, you already offered me the job which I accepted, I live in a flat etc etc.
She said she would go and speak to Accenture (who train the apprentices) and plead with them.
The Monday after that weekend I get a call from her saying "Yeah they won't budge. You won't be getting this job at all."
So now I'm left in a position where I should have started my new job today, but instead of that, I'm unemployed as of Friday at 10pm.
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
fuuuuccckkk.
Well moral of the story, don't do anything without written proof.

thats intensely shit camm, you could probably take some degree of action on that, whether it be through BT or the assessment people.
on slightly happier news i just fucking nailed the interview. two middle-aged women doing it, totally buttered them up in a non-condescending way (opened doors, smiles, gentle hand shakes, please+thankyou and everything). did my research into all the shit around cheshire, threw in examples + figures when relevant and made them write fucking tons of notes, which i think is a good sign.
so yeah i'll find out tomorrow so here's hoping the other 9 interviewees were mongoloids!
now sat in hammock with a nice jamesons+ice and playing annoying music for the chavs a few doors down

Well that's fucked up Probably won't end up even there anyways. Got an interview on thursday for another IT gig. Just got an email from a recruiting company thru Monster wanting my CV. And adding to that I'm applying for a 6 month schooling thingy that will end in being hired for a consulting job. Not bad for a mondayCamm wrote:

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
I couldn't work from home, too many distractions.
m3thod what would happen if you went in to work suited up then stripped off to your underwear in your office and started working
grrrrr came 2nd to some bint who got moved from another department
on the plus side they asked if i can temp for a few months (est 30hrs p/w) with a strong possibility of full-time after that, so yeah i've got a job \o/
