Interesting snippet of conversation.

I've just walked through the canteen at work where I overheard the following snippet of conversation among a few young 'uns:

"...He's the only one of them who didn't have to take his GCSE's again, so he should easily get a good job."

*Boggle*

Probably right.

My unemployed son (victim of the recession) is just back from a job selection process. 40 questions or you could opt for the advanced test of 48 questions, 40 minutes allowed to complete. Advanced selected, out in 6 minutes 100% answered and correct!!!!!!!

Our future workforce is seriously under-educated.

100% in 6 mins and they get 40 to do it?
How is this country going to survive?

Your son is not a victim of the recession.

It took ages before I found a job thirty years ago - I took any available (for which I was supremely overqualified). There were times when I was extremely unhappy. Tell him never to give up.

Good luck.

I've been workin' like a Japanese prisoner of war all day, comforted only by the thought of 'Moose's Toonz', and then nothing!!!
