Bad day

I had my first interviews today and yesterday. Yesterday was a technical interview with a consultancey that went fairly well, I know this because they called me back almost immediately and asked if I would go to meet there clients. I went back in today and was escorted down to the bank who were the clients. Straight away I think I was on the back foot, I wasn't really matching what the guy wanted i.e he wanted a formal tester whereas I have done no formal testing .. thankfully. I found the whole thing a bit disspiriting. Being honest it is not a job i would have wanted .. still I guess you always feel badly if an interview in whatever context goes to crap.

3/4 way through the guy said I don't think your really what were looking for .. I wasn't surprised .. he still carried on interviewing me for some reason .. I eventually said I am 100% confident i can do this job however I can't prove it to you because I haven't formally done it. I am not sure what he thought about that .. he asked me a few questions and then kinda showed me out .. I think there was a bit of tension as I was leaving ..I definitely had the hump because I reckon the consultancey wasted my time and his.

There are days when I hate the IT industry and the agencey/recruitment industry that is around it and today is right up there.

What's 'formal testing'? No worries lad, it's only one interview.
