Yeah Les, as suspected I didn't get it due to my previous work experience. They may have thought I might intimidate the Supervisor as this was also brought up in the interview as well, I met him and could understand why this might has been an issue.

It really annoys me thought as i did some serious homework on the company in question and probably knew more about the product and company history than most of their employees.

I have since wrote to quite a few companies offering my services as well as applying for the Civil Service. I have noticed though some of the jobs going have very daunting and pointlessly titled positions which really are very average and inexperienced jobs! why do they do this?

Sorry it did not come off, can only wish you better luck in the future.

I reckon those job titles you mention are only to impress everyone else and make them sound important so that no one will ask too many questions about what they are actually doing.

It was reported a while ago that half the civil servants turn up for work without knowing what they should be doing anyway!
