Hi mate just abit of inspiration for you as you sound in a similiar situation to what i was.
I was contracting to bt on behalf of kellys
. The job was getting me down and the way you were treated pretty much like a trained chimp. I then attended an interview day for virgin media and got through to the final stages in the afternoon (it felt like a cheaper version of the x factor!)
I then heard nothing for a few weeks and when i did get a reply they told me i didnt get the job. I asked for some feedback and apparently my practical skills were excellent but i wasn't thorough enough in my customer experience questions.
I've already worked for virgin in house and recognised some of the interviewers so maybe they just didnt like the look of me
. This was when i made my decision to get out of the cabling industry.
This was all before xmas last year. I went for an interview for another job but the advert seemed a little bit vague. It was as a radio support engineer for a company that supplies radio/comms equipment to racing teams.
I got the job and have been assigned to look after williams f1 this year so will be travelling everywhere with the team. In two weeks I'll be in australia watching fast cars and pit women, I'm not bitter but if I saw any of my old bosses that treated me like poop I wouldn't pee on them if they were on fire
So all I can say is chin up and don't stop looking to better yourself
