    Why would they have looked up uni records? It seems like a bit of a breech of privacy if they can just pull your records without informing you or getting your permission.
    Seems odd to me that HR would be able to access student files.

    That is all I can think of Onyx?? I dunno, all a bit weird really, but I am too exhausted by this whole shemozzle to care too much ... Mm thinking while typing again, I may have had to put in title when I filled out the online app form as well?? That could be it too baffled.

    I'd say its probably just an assumption on their part Tan - your application setting out your experience so showing roughly your age, and then typical (and sometimes wrong) assumption that a woman of "that age" must be married.

    Sorry about the job lovely. Just means something even better is just around the corner for you.

    Have you put your maiden name on your application?
