No, you didnāt miss a post. I was too depressed to even comment on it when I got back. The interview (the talking part) went OK, but Iām not sure I would fit in though. One of the interviewers didnāt even bother to shake my hand before I left and didnāt seem to be bothered (did in fact make several sarcastic comments) - and she would be the one person I would be working with every single day. As for the place itself, one word sums it up: grim. They had no sense of privacy or security - I was left in a room with the name of every learner currently on programme on a large whiteboard in front of me, and there were piles of confidential paperwork piled up around the room.
Whatās most depressing is that should I be offered a job there, Iāll probably accept as Iāve been trying to get a new job for 12 months now, applying and attending interviews, but no one wanting to take me on. Should I be offered a job and accept, it wonāt stop me sending new applications off. In fact, it would be a great incentive to apply far more often!
Like many on this forum, Iām an introvert. So when the employer was telling me about all the āfun social activitiesā they do out of work, I was cringing inside. Especially when she said that all the staff go and nobody misses.
Apologies for the long, whinging post. I feel like Iām between a rock and a hard place, and the gap between both is getting smaller and smaller.
I find out after next Wednesday if they want me in for a taster session for a few hours.

I might have some gruyere with that bread too...
