There was one lady there enquiring about jobs and pointing out jobs she was interested in and the recruitment consultant said 'OK,send me your CV.'

As soon as she walked out of the office she burst out laughing and went to her colleague 'HA,I can't imagine her working at X place or getting any other job actually!'


Happens more often than you think. I had lunch with a family friend who is a lawyer in a medium sized firm. He spent part of the time laughing about how a graduate from one of the less highly regarded universities* actually dared to apply to his firm for a partner's position. She had applied partly because her father was a major client of the firm's property division.

* It was a graduate from University of Western Sydney, an ex-poly. It is similar to your Kent, Brunel or City in terms of reputation and quality.ie: not great , but not appalling either.
