Friday Night Rants?

Not the man with which to fuck

Now that is a thought provoking signature......

One cant help but wonder why one would use such an uncomplimentary
declaration ...............?
Especially since such a statement surely can only be made by a "person" with sufficient carnal knowledge to have an expert opinion in regards to someone's sexual inadequacies........

Why would one proudly qoute such embarrassing revelations and use as signature.....?

Hmm I must be missing something important off my cv...

You have to create a point of difference!

One that matches "their" objectives, study the company and find out as much as you can about them!

Then fashion your CV around where they want you to take them ... think about that.

Ask lots of questions so that they know that you have done your homework about them and their business at any level specially the level applied for.

Nobody said it would be easy but you have to make a change to change your results from you have been getting! ... Best of luck.

Let me guess "Regrettably, this e-mail is to inform you that other applicants’ skills and experience more closely align with our requirements and we won’t be progressing your application."

Yep had a few of them... the generic "yea, you're not on the shortlist" email everyone seems to use nowadays

Last time I was looking I got told make a few outlandish claims to get noticed. E.g. Looking for a job as a kitchen hand, your goal is to own your own restaraunt.

Also you are more likely to get an interview if the you are patently not up to snuff.
E.g. Applying for roles I had the skills and qualis for I never for a call back. Apply for a few that were well out of my league I got interviews for 5/6 offers on 3/5.
Go figure.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Attended an "animal welfare" course today at work to be informed that no longer will i be permitted to use a cattle prod for the purpose of moving a cow to meet its maker,the guy running the thing had no answer to the obvious question as to how the fuck i was going to move the thing

Looking forward to conversations with stubborn cows.

Fucken sidecar performed great on the weekend been...whilst the front and drive wheel brake callipers both tried to chew their way to freedom through their mounting brackets.

I swear Al's neighbours could be forgiven for thinking we shaped the chassis from a solid lump of billet, with the amount of time the grinders are running.
