I went for a job interview at Ocado as a robotics mechanic, although I had no idea about robotics or mechanics.. to make things worse I was severely hungover.. the guy who interviewed me sussed me out straight away as a little blagger but still kept me there for an hour, handing me random robotics parts and asking me what they were just listening to my nonsense responses ... "hmmm yeah that's a power generator motor chip... I think" ... I'd have got up and left but i didn't want to let my recruiter down... safe to say I never got that job and the factory ended up burning down a year later... funny old life

My worst job interview was for the Royal Bank of Scotland. It was 2010 and I was desperate for a job of any kind after leaving university, and when I researched the bank to prepare for the interview all I could find were pages of damning reports about how RBS destroyed the economy and was probably responsible for the death of your beloved pet as well. First question the interviewer asked? "So what do you know about the bank and what we do?". Ummm... Funnily enough, 7 years later I did end up taking on a senior role with them and it was great.

His CV was deliberately complex, long and hard to understand because he thinks highlighting his potential future boss' ignorance will make him seem clever. The clever thing to do would be to scrap his CV and make a more concise one, not 6 pages long, full of jargon, with his picture on. This guy needs to learn humility. This is the problem nowadays. It's all style over substance, weak employers are brainwashed and led to believe that confidence trumps ability. All you have to do is impress an employer with your confidence and they employ you on a hunch. Become best mates. Then act surprised when the employee delegates most of his duties, barely does any work, is completely inept other than the ability to take shit from his bosses and basically steals a 6 figure income. At least they support the same football team though.

Then once he's finished, lean forward . Acknowledge the point and explain you used the abbreviations for brevity's sake, you thought they were widely used, but can see how there could be confusion. You can explain them to him.

You're not applying to the local chipper. Businesspeople are so clueless sometimes about things outside their little bubble. SLA isn't even that uncommon an acronym.

NGN stands for Next Generation Network (i.e. one which primarily uses internet technologies rather than the old copper phone network) and the idea of it being 'rate-busting' means that it's faster than what came before. Claude really could and should have done his research or sought advice. He took the time to pull Yasmina's business accounts off Companies House, he could have taken the time to research this or ask someone to do it for him.

Most high up business people are more commonly known as: Professional Bullshitters. They just blag and suck their way to the top and then look down on those that try to do the same. Take "Lord Sugar" for example, he used to be a "Delboy" selling shit out the back of a van; he just mugged and scammed his way to the top. But to be honest, fair play to him, because unfortunately that's the way of the world.
