I feel a bit down now in response. (That's to be expected though.)

I'm sorry @Daonnachd. I know that must hurt. I remember a similar thing happened to me. After I had graduated from grad school, I was actually in an AT&T store getting a new phone and they were talking to me and talked me into applying online to work there -- they needed help, and I had a particular set of skills they thought would be very beneficial,but the process was entirely online, including an interview test.

I have a master's degree in a field that requires excellent communication skills and problem solving skills and working on your feet... I was rejected and told I didn't "have what they were looking for" based on my responses to the test. I to this day do not know what I answered "wrong", but they can be fickle for even jobs that seem relatively straightforward. I'm sorry they said no. I'm sure something better will come along.

Also, I have never been a fan of smarties -- I think they taste like chalk lol. Ironically, I always did love going to the bank for a safety pop OR a dumdum sucker. Guess I wasn't a Smartie and proved to be pretty much a big dumdum :P
