Q: What Do You Get If.....
....., over a period of six and a half weeks, you
- email your resume to 27 different recruitment agencies
- register your details online with company career sections and 2 of the biggest job websites around (and spend what seems like hour upon hour trawling through them)
- go to 9 different recruitment agency interviews (plus speak to many others on the phone)
- go up and down numerous skyscrapers (the views were sensational!)
- state your interest in a large number of jobs, whether it be online, via email, over the phone or in person
- attend 8 job interviews (one of which I arrived twenty five minutes late for because I walked for forty five minutes in the wriong direction - logic states that road numbers should increase, or decrease, sequentially - well they don't on the Pacific Highway!!), and,
- get told you are over-qualified on 3 separate occasions?

Haha, good guesses guys, but it's not quite right. Actually, when I last lived here, and on a very drunken night out, I went into McDonalds in Kings Cross and asked to apply for the position of Manager. I'd just left teaching and was told that I was somewhat over qualified. Wierd though, cos all the people who work in all the McDonalds all over the world are about 16.
