I spoke to the guy at the recruitment agency that got me the ex-job yesterday. He couldn’t believe it either. Feedback had been good and he knew they were busy as he had a long term freelancer placed there (you know – Laurel).
He got back to me today after he’d spoken to Hardy, who had spoken highly of me but said I need to concentrate on one area, rather than art directing, writing, desiging etc, and that my mac skills were not up to scratch so unfortunately they couldn’t offer me a job elsewhere in the company!!!!!!
Had I been in a different frame if mind I would have pissed myself laughing. Instead I was extremely angry at this blatant bullshit and referred him to my letter of redundancy which stated it was ‘nothing to do with my skills which were excellent”.
He told me to leave it behind and move on, but I was furious. I emailed Hardy and asked him to rethink his words when speaking to recruitment people. No response so far.
How does one go about getting a new job? I kind of stumbled upon my last one on a website. I thought it was serendipity since it was 5 minutes from my house (which I’d only just moved to from London) and I wasn’t even looking to change jobs. Obviously I thought wrong. Time to contact 175 of my 200 friends on Facebook.
Jo is... unemployed. Help!
