Name and Shame

I thought you'd all be interested in the following feedback I finally received from the Waste and Recycling Advisor interview over two weeks ago:

"The general standard of interviewee for the post of Waste and Recycling Officer was excellent. It was perhaps unfortunate for you that you came up against a number of candidates who had previous relevant experience in similar positions or who possessed immediately transferable skills that would enable them to undertake the work required. Both Steve and I could see that you were genuinely enthusiastic and had a lot of energy to bring to any project. It was for this reason and your obvious academic achievement that we wondered how you would get on in a team environment where not everyone may be fired with your enthusiasm. We imagined that this may have bought you into conflict with other team members."

So basically I was too enthusiastic and over-qualified for the job: they obviously wanted a load of plodders, which makes me quite glad I didn't get the job!
