I spent a year in a real job before uni (not much I know) but I absorbed the deep cynicism and worldliness of my coworkers. I now know I can be a complete moron 5 times a day

and those who've done the job for 10+ years definitely know better!

Prime example of my moronic-ness -> a Christmas present of a thermometer/clock thingy with an outside radio-connected temperature sensor. I fold a protective layer around the outside sensor to keep the rain off whilst it sits in the garden... using an ALUMINIUM foil container :roll:

Wife: "It's not reading the outside temperature" Hmmm, I think I've solved that mystery... :oops:

That's because you're stupid, not because of work experience me thinks .....

I like to persuade myself otherwise :lol:

but my point was that I don't THINK I'm the greatest mind ever, despite evidence to the contrary (unlike those who give academics and graduates a bad reputation).

EDIT: ...because of the work experience.

Sorry, double negative kinda thing. I think I know what you meant :lol:

Re: Random $h!t Thread - Part IV

If I do 1st and 2nd and 3rd line I.T. support, should I put all of those on my CV?

Depends if you're happy doings 1st & 2nd line i suppose.

I generally put that I do 3rd line support & consulting and provide assistance to the 1st & 2nd line support teams during busy periods.

Shows you as a 3rd line engineer but a team player.

Y'see, that's a problem for me, because I am the 1st, 2nd and 3rd line support teams. (8+/

Mark

Then you could put down something like "providing IT support from 1st to 3rd line"

I find putting other qualifications like my MCSE etc and putting down a list of technologies/applications I know works better than a complete job description (they can ask about that sort of things in interviews)

You've done this before

Mark, I know nothing about support, but I did used to be a recruitment consultant. If you want a second pair of eyes on the CV at any point, shout me.

+1
I've not been a recruitment consultant, but I've looked over 50 or more CVs in previous jobs.

Re: Random $h!t Thread - Part IV

I've only got one referee, does that matter? (8+/
It's a professional one, I could put a mate as a personal one if necessary, but I don't know anyone that could act as a second professional one.

Never put references on a CV.

Just put "References available on request" then worry about it later

Heh, cool. Never done that before, but it's a nice touch.
I shall make the amendment now.
