...interesting what you see in CVs nowadays...

I once saw a CV with "...my greatest weakness is that I work too hard..."

Default re: Job Applications

When I was helping recruit for my position at my last company I couldn't believe how many people sent CV's through with terrible grammar and spelling mistakes!

This was for a Personal Assistant's job.

For me, these people were instantly put in the NO pile. A PA should know how to type a letter and should proof read everything before sending.

Default re: Job Applications

I am just glad that my first interview was done over the phone.
The CV wasn't even required for the second interview because what I do is a semi specialised field and I was already known to the prospective employer.
Now the intersting part starts.

P.S. Once I have this sorted out I should be back and posting more regularly
