    I have already had one but I turned down the second interview as it was a sex shop for transsexuals and it was all a bit strange. (I didn't know this until the interview).

    I have an interview at a fairly well known car auction site and one at a furniture company next week. Its strange all the interviews I have got are for fairly well paid jobs, where as the £12k jobs don't even get back to me. The lower ones that do say I have not got enough experience but the higher paid jobs said thats not a problem? :confused: The problem with the higher paid jobs is that I am competing with people with better education so its a bit of a catch 22 situation.

    I guess the higher paid jobs are looking for new graduates and the very highly paid (£25k+) jobs are looking for graduates with lots of experience. The lower paid jobs probably want more work experience over qualifications.

    I am going to spent this weekend refreshing my skills so I am confident in the interviews.

    It could still take months yet but at least I am getting response from employers. I am just making the most of my unemployment and I am going to probably have to go on the dole on Tuesday as I am running out of money and I can't afford to keep my stupid pride up.

    Haha it seems its quite a famous place. I didn't even notice it they asked me in the interview if I saw the shop over the road and they were surprised when I said no.

    A few people have told me that area is really famous for it since, as I am from south Manchester I don't know that area at all. Next time I am in Heaton park I will not be asking an attractive woman out :D

    One of these interviews is a bit of a problem though, its in Bootle and I will probably have to move out as it will take 2 hours via public transport.

    Sex shop, car auctions and a furniture firm, do they have anything in common or are you seeking any job in any sector

    They all have mail order e-commerce websites :) When looking for a development job the sector dosn't really matter, idealy I would like to work in the public sector but I don't really have that choice. I can be a little bit picky though, i.e not wanting to work in a sex shop which transforms blokes into women.

    Many reasons which are best left out of this site as I do not wish to start WW3 :)

    But the short answer is I know nothing about it and I would not feel comfortable with it. At least with somthing like cars its somthing I know a bit about.
