The woope do CV

A changing world
Far fetched are the days of wear you would phone the employer up, or cold call, and you would turn up for an informal no bull ■■■■ interview, and he would say, right sun dice that union or back that lorry into the loading bay or there’s the cement there’s a trowel lay those bricks there on to that wall. And if you could do it you would end up with a job and if you couldn’t do it he would give you a clip round the ear and send you home.

But we all know the days of a days trail and a free demo is long gone.
It’s all red tape white papers nower days, and when I mean white paper
I mean the CV.
We all got one…… No we haven’t that what you would like to hear. My mate Billy the Glaswegian market trader (scum of the earth) says if all they want to hear is bull ■■■■■ that givem bull ■■■■■■ it seams to be working for the media every day.
Billy hasn’t got a CV because he is the scum of the earth, If a old school lorry driver phoned up about a job vacancies, and the office personnel said ‘ow send in your CV’ the chances are that the driver would turn round and say stuff you pal I am not being fufed around like this I am going ells wear…

Are the Romans and Victorians would be turning in there graves right now, to see of how we have all become in the new millennium

Prepering your Covering letter
You covering letter is your first impressions, it is the first thing they will read, so it is important to make it stand out and to cut the bull sitt and get to the point.
Your covering letter should look something like this.

Your details at the top of the page

Names
Address
E mail address
Tel. number
Date

Dear ■■■ hole

I have recently passed my whopper do qualifications in watch-ama-trigaty bio-me-bolex and green toilet paper with Oxford and Cambridge.

I am now fully skilled, experienced, qualified, and I now wish to pursue a whoope do career within your company

Ideally I would like to gain employment within my qualified profession as an organ grinder.
How ever I am willing to start at the bottom and work my way up within your organization, there for I am looking for job as a clapper and a dancer.

You’re faithfully
Know it all

How to prepare the perfect CV
What to and what not to put on it
But as my mate Billy says, if all they want to hear is bull ■■■■■ then givem bull ■■■■■ (pointless trying to educate these people because they know best, remember they are high grade uni students, and we/I am not)
They like to hear the big words like professional and tecnition and career.
In the olden days a tecnison used to be an electrician that worked with things like computer and satellite TV, so remember if you wear a window cleaner don’t just put window cleaner in your previous work history, put Glass/visual tecnison

Needless to say with you professionals a CV should contain

personal details (not necessary contact details, as you can include this in your covering letter)
Employment history
school and education
Certificates and qualifications
And if you rally want to blow your own trumpet then include a key shills section,

Certificates and qualifications
Less start with Certificates and qualifications, they are the base line of entry into the industry. As you lot are probably quite a wear the more the merrier.
Those high graduate students with whoopee do qualifications in inappropriate stuff will shine like ■■■■
Its now err days that the office staff employ the ones with the biggest list of qualifications,
In your Certificates and qualifications section… But having said that quality is better then quantity, and the mental (sit down and bull ■■■■■■ uni qualifications are superior and better then the physical, like the CPC and ADR

Schooll and education
Now Scholl and education, as this is your base line/selection to Certificates and qualifications.
How you climbed the ladder of success to the big time.
How you got there in the fist place, nower day’s social exclusion has been eliminated (so we are brain washed to hear) in the medium education. And how you got there really matters on how you passed your GCSE and A leaves, you must include these in your CV, other wise your CV will be sent back to you covered in so-liver and foot marks.

References
Well references, It gives a true pitcher of your true working back ground, but lets remember the sources that you provide, to the people that want to hear it (Billy the scum of the earth), is it a professional person with a fancy title, or wear you self employed working on domestic property. Was he she a production operative a farmer a friend of a fried of the village idiot mere, remember when they phone them up they expect good morning, competent compact component construction unlimited. Not hallow facker town 21344.

Key skills section
I am not going to go in to much detail about key skills, as you are all professional and know how to shout the odds,
And tell ever one how good you are, and how well you are all doing.

Personal details
Your personal details make up a lot on your CV, you should include date of birth, hobbies and interest and marital status, and if you are a real ficko your social security and passport number.

And also your hobbies and interests are of importance to an employer.
They want to see what kind of person / personality you are, it’s a personality contest knower days, ow he enjoys this he enjoys that, ow I don’t like that as a hobbies because you know it not one of us thing
In my opinion its non of there ■■■■■■■ business what my hobbies and interests are, they iver want a worker or a clapper and dance playing the muppit
But never the less my points of view are meaningless, on the whole they want some one with similar hobbies and interests to them self’s, ‘one of us type of thing you know.
But we don’t all have a crystal ball, we don’t know the person reading our CV on the other end of the line from Adam (most of the time)
So we have to use common sense, what would a modern day office staff person do in his/her spear time, apart from condemn the like of me.
What would there hobbies and interests be, or more to the point what would they condemn,

Low life unskilled hobbles such as
drinking Ethanol in a dark room
Playing computer Games
Pub, drugs, clubs, bars and fast cars.
Watching football
Swinging and Going to brofels

Hear is what I probably think they would like to hear

Reading
Righting books
Painting, water colours
Playing the larde dar in the sun (Spain)
English night classes

Previous work history
And last but certainly not least, your previous work history, this is most important of all as it shows you your back ground and what you have done.
Things they would like to hear would be similar thing to what they have done like
Government worker
Office staff est.

And a Final word
Remember when doing your CV if all they want to hear is bull ■■■■ then give them bull ■■■■, every one ells seams to be blowing there own trumpet nower days, and you don’t want to be left behind with the times.

av u just left school ?

There is something in this.

I am OK with CV’s, but I hate writting covering letter. We call them in casual Polish “dupowÅ‚azy” which translates to “arse entering aids”…

As for the covering letter I fully support this theory: write there the ■■■■■■■■ they want to read.

And the point is?

point is, he has to much time on his hands to post something that long :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Batista, I declare you to be the Damien Hirst of TNUK posters. Like a piece of modern art, your posts can mean whatever the reader wants them to mean.

A few years back I was working as a volunteer setting up a big youth camping event. On our team we had a lad who had recently graduated with a degree in ‘Disaster Management’. Wow, I think, this person has spent three years just learning how to deal with crises, he’ll be a good person to have if things go ■■■■ up. Well, there then came the worst overnight rainfall seen in Nottinghamshire for 20 years. Cue the mass flooding out of thousands of teenagers, the need for evacuations, multiple cases of hypothermia, the need to secure £100K’s worth of PA equipment etc etc etc. And whilst almost all the volunteers knuckled down to resolve the problems, what was our young eminently qualified graduate doing? Sitting in the office going “what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?” The ‘best’ qualified person turned out to be complete waste of space.

In such a scenario someone’s inadequacies are plain to see, but day to day they aren’t so obvious. So inadequate graduates are employed to start on a management career because they are “well qualified”. Because they clearly buy into the notion that a degree = competence (because it most be true of them, mustn’t it?), so they in turn employ inadequate graduates straight to management roles. Often, because of inadequate thinking about efficient staffing this involves create new and unnecessary jobs that a clearer thinker would see aren’t needed in the first place.

So welcome to Britain in 2011, a place where those doing vital work are viewed as low status by those whose jobs shouldn’t exist.

It looks like this:

I guess EXPERIENCED and TIME SERVED means sweet FA now!! :imp:

Someone that’s left school - straight to 6th form - then onto uni for god know how many years (tax dodging).

Then they leave with a piece of paper that says ‘I can do that job better than you, even though you’ve been doing it 30+ years!!’

Barista you omitted one thing, press ‘spell check’ after you’ve compiled your CV :open_mouth:

Can’t see why you have such a hate of C.V’s, they are a pain to complete but in the current climate Employers find them an easy way to whittle down the masses that apply for an advertised job.

If you are one who dislikes them or can’t be asked to write one then you automatically count yourself out by not sending one in. It all depends how keen and how keen you are to work and pay your bills.

With the way the world is going you have to sell yourself and a C.V is a way of doing this, tell porkies of one and you leave yourself wide open to being sacked when they check yours. Thats why they like C.V’s.

All depends if you want to work or not ?

look through his other posts and you’ll see why he hates CV’s, not only is his spelling atrocious but if he is to be believed he’s not even got a licence yet :unamused:

Ive never had a CV and personally if the company wants one I dont want to work there.

In nearly 30 years ive got all my jobs by either personal reccomendation, ringing up and asking or turning up and asking.

same here except as I’m not as old as Mark I haven’t worked for 30 years yet :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I can’t really remember needing one for a job but do think they are worthwhile keeping up to date, just to remind ourselves of what qualifications and attributes we have. They are an ongoing thing as my interests & hobbies in my 20’s have changed over the years to cope with a more sedate pace.

In fact I have just sent one off to a company far away from road haulage. I am planning on a leap into the unknown if they will accept my hopefully temporary medical issues.

Truck driver’s CV.

Qualified in media studies and modern arts (whatever the zb that means don’t ask me but that’s what they told me that I’d need to do to become a driver in the 21st century).

24 years old and have’nt got an LGV licence yet but willing to work in the canteen and sweep the warehouse before hopefully being offered training to use your forklift in a few years time and then when I can afford the training for class 2 and class 1 hopefully you can offer me a job driving one of those electronic automated fleet heaps of yours running between the supermarkets and the local RDC.

Reply from HR.

Thank you for showing an interest in working for this Company but all of our positions,including canteen operatives and forklift operators,have been filled by East European workers who we feel are more suited to the roles that we needed filling in the course of our operational requirements.

Reply to HR.

Thank you for the rejection letter and FU2.I have now decided to further my career opportunities in the media industry although being ethnic european indigenous British I doubt if I’ll get a knighthood and win a BAFTA like Trevor Mc Donald. :smiling_imp: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
