I attended an interview in March this year and one panel interviewer just couldn't look me in the eye at all. It was funny and weird at the same time. The best line is when they say , ' well done for getting this far, thank you for coming'. Or start a sentence with ' At least...'

It's funny how my gut is always right, there is always someone in a panel interview who gives you the rejection vibes. You are like ' Iam not imagining this , she/ he is giving negative vibes'... I have been right every single time. Coming out deflated, ' I haven't got it'...

I am trying to figure out what to do now. Because I don't want to waste more of my life on applications that are going nowhere or sitting in a panel interview where one person just gives it away with their body language and facial expression, they aren't there, because they are bored by you.
I keep wasting days of my life doing long job applications,getting an interview ,only to be told ' there was an exceptional group of people who applied ' for a job I have a lot of experience in. A lot of it is they've already got someone lined up, they aren't really interested in what you offer.

Had a rollercoaster week. I didn't get the job I could do in my sleep, my gut was right after the interview. Delivery of you haven't got it was crap. Spent most of this week at the hospital with my brother who had emergency surgery. Your health is your wealth, so done with effing the jobs market !

It means we will be paying off an interest debt for 50+ years (leaving the NHS without necessary funds for patient care).
It means private companies will be paid to construct and maintain new centres. But when they go bust, the public are left with poorly maintained buildings and have to pay twice.

Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"
Openly now ripping off patients for generations to come
Even the Conservative government said "goodbye to PFI"
Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong

Just pathetically in Heathrow’s pocket, Govt backs the airport’s own climate-wrecking expansion plan, the one that requires moving (!) the M25.

Interesting that this happened the day before the government approved the Heathrow expansion
Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

You spending ages prepping too.
Just been for another job interview, I think I did well , couldn't do anymore. Demonstrated relevant experience and enthusiasm but didn't get that vibe at the end from one of them. The job was exactly the same as my old job from a year ago too. But always the same story. Fed up with it.
