About a week ago,
I applied for a summer job as a lab technician in a dye company.
Today, I got a letter saying that although I was not among those being interviewed, they'd be keeping my details in case any suitable jobs became available in the future.
How likely is this to be true, do you reckon? Bearing in mind that I've finished two years of a chemistry degree and have pretty much straight firsts at the moment.

Your CV has already been recycled and become a McDonalds paper bag.

The at least something good came of it.

Oddly enough, the one that he'll end up serving.

you may have firsts,
but you obviously write a crap CV.

I don't know why I bother to be honest
maybe I shouldn't aim so high.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 13:58, archived)

with that attitude
you could become a professional emo.

Well, pardon me for getting annoyed at having precisely fuck-all success on the career front over the last year
and working my arse off for no reward in an education system geared towards the mediocre.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:01, archived)

I passed all my exams with high grades. in the mid 1980s
I have a total of 32 different acedemic and vocational qualifications.

I now work in a call centre. I don't know why I botherered.

I saw a PROPER emo on the bus today.
Hair all short-and-spiky up one side, eye-covering floppy fringe on the other (all dyed black), crappy studded neck collar, skinny black tee-shirt with a skull on it, spray-on black jeans, bright pink belt, and bright green chequerboard canvas plimsoles.

He looked like an utter dick.

Did you make a show of being very cheerful and friendly?

( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:04, archived)

No, I just of sneered at him.
But he couldn't see, because of his fringe.

He probably wasn't an 'emo' at all, he was just a trendy sub-goth hipster twat.
( Mr. Tea Dmedff, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:05, archived)

What's the deal with that trousers half way down the arse mallarkey?
Pull 'em up, you scruffy twats
(bogus official shove it up your cunt, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:05, archived)

It's to facillitate the lube-free bumming they so obviously deserve.


Arse-obsessed? Moi?

I've lost a bit of weight and my jeans are always falling down.
its quite annoying.

Get a (better) belt then

( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:23, archived)

Originally worn by american gangs
to honour comrades in prison, where they are not allowed belts or jeans that vaguely fit.

So when the inmates saw pictures of their friends, they knew the guys on the outside where thinking of them. For some reason it took off as a fashion item amongst lower life forms.

HAHAHAHAHA
What a set of cunts
(bogus official shove it up your cunt, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:26, archived)

Haha, I saw a simiar chap around my way,
except on the back of his t-shirt, it had lyrics for some kind of metal/rock/emo/whatever band.

It read something like.

To the darkness i've lied,
my only friend has just died,
Nobody loves me and I cryed
a thousand tears 'till I ...ermmm... donno.


I'm sure wearing shirts of musical groups was 'cool' when I was five, but seriously, its not for an adult... unless it has something really whitty on it, like "I PWN U".

If it had said literally what you've just written,
it'd actually be quite good.
( Mr. Tea Dmedff, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:16, archived)

This
I got nothing for 2 months, decided to rewrite my CV and spent a good day perfecting it,then the responses and interviews flowed in. And following that I went to my first interview and got a great job.
Sorted.

What did you alter?

( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:02, archived)

General layout and presentation...
(It seems adding a blue line here or there does wonders)...coupled with rewording everything, no lies, just avoided negative sounding words or phrases and I removed more than I added in the end.
It's difficult to explain without having a before and after set of copies.
( TN, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:08, archived)

Hmm, sounds like a plan
just hope the people at the careers centre are helpful.

Have you been through a recruitment agency yet?
They'll usually help rewrite your CV and if you get a good 'un they might just do a good job of it.
( TN, Sat 8 Jul 2006, 14:13, archived)

I signed up to one last week
I'll give that a shot.
