Well, I think we've explored this sufficiently for me to reach a conclusion.
So I'm happy to stop it here, unless there's anything else you feel I should
know?

I think you are right, they would die of boredom, mindnumbingly
unending repetative tasks that once learnt pose absolutly no challange,
but you must have started somewhere, how many of the 15 years were you
a shelf stacker, and a backdoor man? From what I have gleaned you
certainly didn't fast track from Uni, and if by some miracle you did
were your results so bad that's the only job you could get?

Which is where you'd be wrong.

Nevermind, wrong again. You're making a habit of it.

Maybe, if you post enough times in this thread, you may actually get
something right.

More to the point would they consider you? I see you have worked for
the bottom end of the market companies most of you working life.
Iceland? you worked for Iceland and won't consider LIDL.
Why not?

So without disclosing your employer, just how did you arrive at your
present position after 15 years work? or is that a secret as well?
