Stupid people!!! So glad I read this before commenting on your pre-interview post.

(((((((HUGS)))))))

I hope you find that job that is perfect for your real real soon, and that they appreciate you. but until then hun (((((((HUGS)))))))

I don’t know which would be more annoying, knowing that it had nothing to do with anything I did/didn’t do or to know that something I did/didn’t do persuaded interview people to not choose me. The later would be frustrating but fixable for next time, the first, which is sounds as though is what happened to you, simple frustrating

It’s only been a couple days. I’ve never applied for a job on your side of the pond, but here, a week or two can transpire before someone’s arsed to call back and say, “Oh, hey, we need you to come in tomorrow. …Yes, of course you’ve got the job, didn’t anyone tell you?”

I don’t want to stoke false hope or anything, but, you know, there’s always an outside chance. The wheels of bureaucracy grind slow but fine.

And yeah, the “overqualified” conundrum is insanity itself. You’d think a place would be excited to hire someone competent and skilled, not intimidated by the prospect. Maybe you could include “holds hands, speaks in soft soothing tone, has cookies” in your resume to take the edge off, if they’re that skittish.
