Why is it I do so badly at job interviews, and yet if I apply for voluntary work they practically knock me over to sign me up? I mean, I like to help of course but it would be nice to be rich as well.

You've gotta be more ruthless in interviews and not portray yourself as being too nice and soft and wet.

The charities feel sorry for you as you are the kind of "victim" that they like to help and so they offer you the job?

Maybe you are going for the wrong jobs.

Maybe, but there's not a lot of choice

Well, nothing very high profile because at the moment I'm doing a couple of things off my own bat that I hope will come to something. Anything would do that wasn't too boring or too illegal!

Stop telling the interviewer that you couldn't get along with your last bosses and never admit losing a job for sexual harrasment. Never. :laugh:
