I never wrote a CV, not sure I'd include everything I've done anyway.

Lets just say that my brief period of working for ford was a tad, hmmm, counter-productive. :ph34r:

I&#39;d call it an educated guess.

I try and be honest with those things, so far it hasn&#39;t actually hurt me.

I once got a job after spending a large part of the interview telling the bloke about how badly I did at the ford place.

Since getting home and actually using the net for something constructive I have found the agency and sent them my cv, applied for a jobs on another agency&#39;s site and got my Council Tax Benefit form being sent to me.
