So to sum up. White bad. None white good. Tell that to the forgotton white middle aged men who voted brexit. They they see adverts like that and you are actually surprised about the rise of the far right? Then again you'd probably just call them uneducated bigots. I see no racism in my workplace. The chap I work with is black, a fully qualified accountant and one of the nicest guys I know. Whats more he is an exceptional employee and being fast tracked. Its called "talent".

Racist, nazi, Tory.😁😁😁

Does this fit with the comment you made about you not wanting to employ me without you knowing anything at all about my skills or fitness for the job? Frankly, I'm not surprised you are often 'leaned on' by your HR department!

Not at all. By commenting on this forum for years that gives me a much better insight into your character than a 1 to 2 hour interview. I think you would cause trouble in my department. I expect you have been a thorn in the side of a lot of people in the past. And you'll be proud of it.

I read an interesting article where it stated that provided competence for a job is assumed, the chances of picking an ideal candidate for a job were only marginally better with an interview than if the decision was left to chance. In other words, a flip of a coin is almost as successful a method as an interview.

A very sad commentary on your managerial competence.

Indeed. one of the reasons I wouldn't want to be employed by you anyway! You have at least confirmed that the biggest concern I had about Brexit, one that nearly stopped me voting to leave. That is, I was concerned that the UK didn't appear to have the management capability to go it alone. You have at least confirmed that; so perhaps the present political re-think is no bad thing.

Goodbye. Shut the door on the way out. You can't even perform trolling very well. Poor excuse for a human being.

Sigh, the classic response, you only have personal insult left. I do appreciate that the truth hurts; so sorry for upsetting your day even as it starts.

Very interesting; as item one implies, difficult to make work!
