Fingers crossed for you that something more satisfying is on the horizon.
Please demonstrate your ability to meet the requirements of the job by giving clear, concise examples of each criterion on the person specification. You may use relevant examples from paid or voluntary work or other voluntary work or activities outside employment.

Do you wanna know if I can do the job, or if I'm good at bullshitting in a professional sounding way? Cos I can bullshit the legs off you. I'm not applying for a sales job - at least not until I get desperate. The ability to fake sincerity and bewilder you with words should not be a reason to hire me. But I can do it and I've got that lovely white male privilege which means you're going to give me a few more minutes benefit of the doubt if I seem very confident. But let's not both of us debase ourselves as I unleash my inner sociopath.

Around fifteen years ago, we had a Swedish friend living in Canada and she had a tough time finding work because she didn't understand that the job interview is 95% bullshit self-hype. Her experience in Sweden was to give an honest and critical self-appraisal in a job interview, which wasn't going over well here. Once someone explained to her that she was expected to, well, lie, it didn't take long for her to find a job.

Was this during the interview or a question on the application?
