Banks, why I joined em.

When I got made redundant from my job, I was very angry at the banks, after all they had trashed the economy while giving themselves a massive pat on the back for the jobs they do.

We all did, we hated them for giving us what we wanted, excuse me, what we wanted? we wanted to be unemployed and massively in debt? well yes we did.

We did because we wanted big televisions, cars, iPods and really cool things that went ping when we wanted them too.

Then it changed, and the little machine that went ping, stopped pinging.

Our lives it seemed, came to an end, we had to start again it seemed, thrown back into the good old days of the the nineteen thirties (where my grandpa spent his unemployment years, until Hitlers job creation scheme called WW2)

The banks were at fault then too, not that it matters, but from this era a bit of wisdom flowed to me, it came from John Dillinger(bank robber) When asked why he robbed banks, he replied "that's where the money is"

And so in my head the alcohol burned a little brighter, and an idea came into my brain.
If you cant beat'em join'em.

And so I applied for all the bank positions possible.

And with time I got interviews, I was verbose, charming and qualified.

I got nowhere.

Or so it seemed, I was at that moment in the worst job in the world (in my opinion getting work is easy, getting good work is hard) when a call came, one of the banks wanted me back for another interview, this was at least 2 months after they had turned me down.

So I went, and I got the job.

Now did I get it due to my verbosity?
No.
Did I get it due to my Charm?
No
Did I get it due to my Qualifications?
No

How did I get it?
I was honest on the application form. Turns out all the others told porky pies, and if there is one thing the banks do not like is liars, cheats and scoundrels.
Come again?

That's right I was honest, now I will admit to stretching, distorting or omitting the truth but I never actually lie(number one salesman in the country, you bought it, and don't like it, tough S**t)

Go figure.
