Tend to agree. The way a CV is constructed often says more about a chap/chapesse than mere skills and contrived interests in cool hobbies

Absolutely put it on!!!!!

I've lost count of the CVs which have come across my desk with interests listed as;

"I enjoy going to the cinema, playing football and socialising with friends"

DOH! Yeah - who doesn't!

At least if you have something other than the above there's a topic for the interviewer to form a question around. Very handy (for the interviewer, and for your job prospects!)

(and I won't employ anyone without at least a B in standard grade English (it's our language and candidates should be able to speak/write it!) and Maths (or preferrably a few decent "Highers" but I am North of the border and we don't have the narrow focused A level nonscence up here- but that's hardly to PP's high standard!)



and I won't employ anyone without at least a B in standard grade English (it's our language and candidates should be able to speak/write it!)

don't have the narrow focused A level nonscence up here.

Oh the Irony

How you doing dunx?

Indeed. It's like 'Carry On Aye Carrumba!' here.

Decades ago, people were smaller and thinner, and decent tits were rare, so the one with the biggest tits would get the job.

Nowadays, there is so much gross obesity around that the one with the biggest tits will have them touching the floor and she is likely to develop serious back problems

I interviewed one the other day. Poor woman could hardly walk.

Nowadays, in the UK, it would be the one with the smallest tits that would get the job!

Seriously though, if I'm short of a team earth mother then that's whom I'll hire, but the size of the tits don't usually have anything to do with it.

Did a telephone interview yesterday and the interviewer asked me if I was a 'What if' thinker...
I started giving a business example and thought 'sod it' and said that as a Private Pilot I have to constantly think about the 'what ifs' without it being of detriment to my ongoing performance.....
