Consequently Dad's Satnav got us lost and I was 5 minutes late to the interview, not my fault, the traffic was bad even though we set off in plenty of time to get there early.

I've told you twice now that your behaviour on this forum is not a good look particularly when you chose to name and shame this employer for some quite frankly trivial complaints despite the fact that employer is still deciding whether to give you a job. You throw out such complaints into a public forum inviting debate and then instantly get overly defensive when people raise criticisms of you - which they are entitled to do. You may have the anonymity of a username but it is not very difficult for someone to put two and two together and then before you know it your internet persona will start having influence on your reputation in the real world. He's been banned from the forum previously under another name, I wonder why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people were banned previously, myself included. There has been an amnesty so the past is in the past and whilst I won't pretend to know Mr Allens medical history I have gathered he has quite a few disabilities so it might be an Idea to cut the guy some slack?

There's 2 problems with finding a position suitable for a disabled candidate. 1) I refuse on principle to be plonked into some disability specific "non job" where the "clients" are on about 2 quid a day because they're on benefits and therefore can't earn much without the DWP sanctions the pants off them. 2) Fortunately most of these kind of places are gone now anyway such as the Remploy Factory on Brightside Lane, and the Reclaim recycling Plant on Claywheels Lane (behind the big Sainsbury's at Wadsley Bridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is knowing your own abilities and limits and only looking at job that are suitable rather than going for any job then expecting the employer to bend/amend the role when they have other candidates that could do the role as advertised. My employer loved my interview, my experience & skills and called me back in to ask what adaptations would be needed to the role, whilst making it clear that I hadn't got the job. They wanted to know if it would work for them vs hiring another candidate with the same skills but less experience. Thankfully they decided that my needs vs the reward to the business favoured the business and I was hired. Your attitude is extremely adverserial to everyone around you, including those that are employed to help you. You come across as unendingly bitter & essentially you're telling potential employers that your needs come first over the needs of the business & if they don't do as you wish then they're being discriminate, at least on the forum If that attitude is the same as your real life persona then I have no wonder as to why you've struggled to find employment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry to here about his disabilities however, I’m with the other posters who think he needs to change his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
