Oh I know, but I just thought that this case the tested skill set was so unnecessarily far away from the original job spec, that it deserved an airing. AIH the job that I am currently on hit a few roadblocks and I didn't became available when I thought I would, so I never would have been able to take the job - and, despite the interesting application and otherwise excellent match to my skill-set, I was lukewarm in the first place as I wasn't sure that I wanted the 1.5 hour commute on the train into the city each day (driving to that location would take even longer!), so I wasn't overly disappointed to have failed! tim
