    Anyone else hate them?

    Boots and B & Q questionnaires deserve special mention for being so infuriating :mad: ; I don't even know where I'm going wrong with these things.

    McDonalds?

    Seriously though, I've been rejected from Next I think 4 times with the exact same automated response each time. How are you meant to know where you went wrong when it says in the email that they can't give feedback due to the high number of applicants? :confused:

    I know, it's so annoying that they won't give tips or suggest improvement in areas of your CV. Half the time the questions seem too obvious - and you think, am I meant to answer like a normal human being, or should I give them the lap-dog robot approach?

    Drives me up the wall!

    Might see if I can do some more tutoring over Summer.
