Its Taken 2 Weeks But I Finally Did It

[DanB]

I updated a paragraph on my CV to include the job I got sacked from

Not bad for 2 weeks unemployment

[*goddess*]

Bugger, thought you were gonna say you'd got a job.


Did you check out the possibility of unfair dismissal claim?

[JONNO_CELEBS]

Yeah but Dan, hav'nt you found that while you're not working time flies by?
I did when I was'nt working, weeks just flew by man, it was scary

Jonno B)

[Snee]

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.

CV's are never a true account of your employment history tho.

You make up/embellish good stuff and omit any negative stuff.



How'd you know what Jonno was up to while unemployed, he leave the webcam on for ya?

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.

[DanB]

It does fly by, I have done feck all constructive

[*goddess*]

Mine&#39;s erm....... based on the truth Snny


Surely hours and hours on the internet could be interpreted as constructive couldn&#39;t it Dan?
