I agree, job hunting sucks - they make you jump through hoops and the majority of the stuff you're tested on will never be used in your job.

:twisted:

I'm freelancing at the moment, but still very much looking for full time work, and I couldn't agree more - it is a righteous pain in the arse. I have a very low bull$h1t tolerance level too, which makes filling in some of the forms a pretty irritating experience.

I'm hunting for a job, got an interview for one I really want but will more than likely not get it, they say its about 1 in 10 chance.
