in Work

Morning All,

Is anyone else finding it nearly impossible to even achieve an interview in this job market knowing full well that you are more than capable for the role. I even apply under the Disability Schemes available and I am getting no where. Incredibly frustrating

    Call me cynical but I've been saying for years that the majority of companies who say "We are a disability confident employer" don't actually mean it, they're just legally obliged to say it under the Equality Act 2010.

    I've attended a myriad of interviews over the years, and I've never got the job! Especially in retail where evenings and weekends are pretty much mandatory and for various reasons I can't do either.

    One of the worst was in Argos at Meadowhall about 4 years ago, although that was probably my fault for openly challenging them to uphold the Equality Act, which they probably took umbridge to.
