question
A, A, A, B. that B bugs the fuck out of me every time i have to look at my cv.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 18 May 2011, 9:45, 1 reply, 15 years ago)

why?
they no longer have any meaning.

GCSEs became irrelevant as soon as you finished your A levels, A levels are irrelevant as soon as you have got into uni or got a job.

This is the truth
my "qualifications now sit at the bottom of my CV as my work experience is far more relevant

indeed
more to the point, we both got BCD and I am obviously considerably cleverer than rswipe

could we have your basis for making this statement
so that i can consider it?

but the judge's initial reaction is to strike out your claim and laugh. a lot.

let's open with my Masters degree in Civil Engineering shall we?
I'd add that I got a 2:1 while being stoned almost every day.

i see your grades
and i raise them with a masters from oxford and a law conversion, meaning that i have LLB, BA Hons and MSt.

AND i have piano up to grade 5.

AND my 5 metre swimming badge (can you believe they even bothered with a fucking 5 metre badge?!)
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 18 May 2011, 10:00, Reply)

I failed my 5m badge once.

No, I put my feet down before reaching the end

I've got enhanced Disclosure

I'm security cleared to SC level

You've got too many tales of going out and meeting people
to have been stoned all the time.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 18 May 2011, 10:15, Reply)

I can pretty much guarantee that you wouldn't have physically been able to smoke bongs for 6 hours the night before a 9am exam
on such things as applied numerical methods and hydroinformatics
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 18 May 2011, 10:16, Reply)

you are both right
i like exams though. i am very lazy but have a photographic memory, which means i can do fuck all and still get good grades.

the down-side is that it all falls out of my brain again after the first celebratory vodka...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 18 May 2011, 10:17, Reply)

I'm good at exams too, and also have a good memory, not photographic though
I have a good instinct for how much work is required for something. Actually very useful in my working life. People get bogged down in detail too much.

I met a guy the other week who has a PhD
and apparently he nearly didn't get his old job, because he got a 2:2 in his BSc.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 18 May 2011, 9:51, Reply)

He shouldn't have been allowed on a PhD course with a 2:2 to be fair.
that's probably more the issue, it would have raised suspicion. It's against academic regs in most unis. Unless I guess he did an MSc afterwards.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 18 May 2011, 9:59, Reply)

2:2 - the drinking man's degree
as opposed to 2:1 - the thinking man's degree and 1st - the stinking man's degree

I fully expect RSwipe to quit her job and become a hobo

Absloutely
Even my academic CV as nothing before my degree on it, and that's bloody 7 pages long.

How do you write a CV that long?
Seriously, I've got to submit a 1500-2000 word career report as part of my Chartership application, and I'm really struggling.

It's an academic CV
so it has all my publications and grants on it.
