He wasn't pleased with me.
Less, similar thing told to me haha

They told me to delete any education I had when applying for low end jobs, and any work experience I had in the better fields.

That left my CV basically empty. Any employer would think "What the heck have you been doing all those years?!?"

An Express Gifts Clayton recruitment manager and two 8-9 year workers also said the same thing to me before I applied. And no kidding... to act dumb at the interview.

They rejected me, and a TL told me the interviewer said over confident

What a pathetic excuse (I've worked there before in '03 and in the Church warehouse in '01).

At the same time, they put a guy on who is part mentally-disabled. Me and him both sat the written test together. He went to Broadfield and not be funny, but he can barely speak three words together. Just because a CM was his relative.

I can name them, I know them well. The lad and CM told me himself, along with a TM and a TL.
