The word I got, and all my sabytomus onetoks can tell it like it is to correct me;
If you have been shafted by anyone in the firm, then the chances of getting another interview are calculated at one puffteenth of a bad Irish temper. If you have been shafted outside of the firm, but with connexions, it's nearly the same.
Letting the facts get in the way of a damn good rumour has not been an issue that perplexes the interview panel, rest assured.
For any other reason, there maybe hope, but you just don't know; do you? Keep trying.
Marriage is give and take.
You'd better give it to her, or she'll take it anyway.
