Cloud surfing - your post just proved to everyone that the recruitment process works. Slamming your current employer shows nil integrity. Of course someone off the street would be chosen over you , smiling on the day doesn't hide your true colours !! As a current employee one would have hoped that you were extremely helpful , positive , friendly , warm , engaging and a team player. You did display those qualities right ?? Or was it all just about ' me me me ' wanting a ticket back to a job in oz ? Seems like it.
