This happened in 2000. But I am sharing it now to get it off my chest and because it still affects my confidence today, whenever I remember it.
Back in 2000, I was a part time carer and I was looking for part time retail work because of their very flexible working hours.
I had applied to all the local supermarkets and major stores. I had got two interviews but been turned down.
The job centre suggested a two week course which was run in conjunction with the city council and a major supermarket. At the end of the course we were guaranteed an actual interview for a real job with a new supermarket which was opening nearby.
At the end of the first week I was called into the training centres manager's office. And he asked me to leave. ️
I asked why because I was unaware of having done anything wrong.
At first he refused to give a reason, they just wanted me to leave!
After much hesitation, he told me.
So I left. Feeling rejected and dejected.
Was the supermarket Morrisons? I had a similar experience.
