What Does It Take To Get A Job?

[Bereta_Eder]

noone is. noone knows. we all just pick it up as we go along.

i've heard that a short compact CV will CERTAINTLY be read, whereas a long one might not.

if you want to be analytical you can do it in a seperate chapter of the CV. (have all the critical info on the 1st compact short one though).


anyway that's what ive heard (and did)

[Provost Harrison]

Well my aim is to keep it below 2 pages. I am trying to rewrite the thing as we speak...

[Bereta_Eder]

2 pages is good (from what ive heard)

and formatting isnt to be underestimated either.

make it easy to read. easy to read letters, lots of spacing etc


i'd sent you my CV like Supersneak did but its in greek

[Provost Harrison]

Hehe.

Well the question is, do you reckon I should mention I am a moderator of a website as an activity? (CGN)

[Bereta_Eder]

r u kidding?

No.

[Provost Harrison]

Why not? I mean, it is something I do...

...the reason I can think not to is that they would think I would spend all of my work time doing it

[SuperSneak]

May as well tell them you're an amateur taxidermist. It would be equally creepy.
Only weirdos moderate web sites...that's an indisputable fact!

[Bereta_Eder]

good thinkin'

and also that you "dont spend your time productively blah blabh labh "

[Bereta_Eder]

and what SuperSneak said


that's your business. you forward the info you need to get the job. that's it

[Bereta_Eder]

i'm a bit concerned if you REALLY thought of puuting that in your CV actually PH

[Provost Harrison]

Well I am struggling for 'extra curricular things'.

Ah, I've got an idea

[Bereta_Eder]

NO!

[Provost Harrison]

I was a member of the Beer Appreciation Society at university, I was a very keen participator in that (that wasn't my idea). Do you think I should put that?

[Bereta_Eder]

for extracuricular activities u put sh!t like

music theater cinema literature stuff like that (things that u actually DO of course)

if you play a musical instrument yyou can put that too


if you go mountain climbing (which I doubt - who does) put that in

that sort of stuff

[Bereta_Eder]

and i was evaluator of t!ts in my Uni


that starts to remind me of that ad with the CVs which says everyone has a latin spirit in them
