Jobs And Working!

[funkycaveman]

I have just got an interview for a job at Halfords and a CV gets you an interiew and the interview gets you the job, but thats my story, you may say why is funkycaveman posting this? It doesnt deserve a thread, but can you also disscuss this here:

What job do you have?
How many pages is your cv?
Roughly how many applicants were at your job?
any tips?

and any other random stuff about getting jobs.

more work means less time on flash, oh no!

peace out funky

At the moment I have a sumemr job covering in shifts for people who are on vacation. My job itself is guiding people with a mild mental disability. My CV is like one page, since I have hardly any experience or degree's thus far. Don't know how many applicants there were, but somehow they picked me, even though I have no degree (which you actually need), but because I'm in college studying in this line of field, they supposed it was alright.

My job is awesome, half the time I just sit around drinking coffee and having a lot of fun with the clients.

CapnCrunchDaPimp- in band, kl you got a flash website or summin or music that we can see, must be hard work for 3 hours, gotta have energy?

Nah, we just do covers of rock and country. Some of the songs I don't like and I kind of space off, but otherwise it's all good. The practices can get long though, 6-9 hours on a very hot Sunday. I have lots of Mountain Dew for energy and our band runs on coffee.

be confident, and when they ask if you have any questions... ASK SOME, otherwise it shows lack of interest

if it gets boring just stick with it, your still going home with a pay packet at the end of the month :)

I'm a stay at home mom.

Sometimes I remote desktop into work and do some accounting. I've been really busy lately and haven't been working. I'll be working full time again when my kid goes to preschool.

Congrats!

What job do you have?

Negotiating offers from here and there, mostly related to electronics, computers, programming the ass-end of the internets (rack-mounted routers and other such closet-monsters)

How many pages is your cv?

3. 9 if you count diplomas, 11 if you count letters of recommendation.

Roughly how many applicants were at your job?

Normally there are very few, given the kind of work i do. Average about 10~20 people.

ALWAYS cover your own ass. Nobody else will do it for you.

Its a Curriculum Vitae

It's the English equivalent of a résumé, my American friend to be precise.
