Implications of Failing CPL/ IR first time round with respect to job prospects?

Hi all,
Just wondering if any one out there has any idea of what the implications might be of failing ones CPL ot IR skills test first time round with respect to job prospects? Obviously it is preferable to pass everything first time, however does having a fail on your record doom you to the scrap heap?

Has anyone out there landed a nice airline job with a fail on your record?
If so, did you get it wit low hours (200 ish) or did you do something else, such as instructing, to "cancel it out" as it were?
Also, what is CTCs view on the matter? Has anyone got onto the ATP Wings scheme having failed a CPL/ IR test first time round?

Cheers for any replies,

Badboy.
