It's laughable really - the application I sent off last night was returned and rejected mid-morning today!I can't pretend I'm overly surprised as the last time I applied for a position advertised by this particular agency, the rejection came back even quicker. Seriously concerned the last time, I called them for some feedback on receipt of their email, only to be told that the position was very highly subscribed and she "didn't feel the role best suited my skill set". She then went on to reassure me that I had a strong CV and that she would be happy to work with me to find something else, but she would have to get back to me in a few weeks. You could almost smell the sincerity over the telephone and unsurprisingly I never heard any more from her.
Truth be known, it was the salary and geography that offered the main attraction for this role so perhaps there's a lesson to be learnt there. Not that I'm concerned right now anyway, after all, the game has only just begun...

At least wait until Gordon's left before you apply.
That is a bloody quick reply tho'.Did they actually read your CV?
In my opinion, I sincerely doubt it.
As usual, my CV was actually tailored to highlight key experience relevant to the role being advertised but I suspect that because it didn't include the same verbatim job title, she filed it in the circular cabinet beneath the desk.
I recall when I questioned it last time, she seemed quite taken aback at my impertinence in questioning their judgement so this time I've saved my breath!
