I'm also starting writing a new, better C.V.
for two jobs I would quite like. It's still making me moan just how sparse my C.V. is though

I've been contacted about a job that pays megabucks and is just down the road from me
but for which I am woefully under-qualified and under-experienced.

I am trying to figure out if it's even worth applying to or if I'm not even going to get as far as being laughed out of an interview.

Depends
Who contacted you about it? If it was an employment agency, you might as well. If it was your Mum, perhaps not.

Employment agencies know nothing about techie stuff.
He saw my CV, saw "IT" and contacted me.

I'd go for it anyway if I were you
The only downside I can see is that your current employer finds out and throws a hissy fit.

A lot of places over spec their required now
so they can say to people with B.O. or fat people or whatever that they don't want them.
They'll accept someone who doesn't have the qualifications who isn't you know "weird"

Also they have an excuse to pay you less.

Ha, yep, "depending on experience" is a great catch all phrase.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Aug 2011, 13:26, Reply)

They could knock four grand off because of that and still pay me more than I currently earn.
It's a real tempter. Outside my comfort-zone, though.

Fuck off you fat weird cunt, why don't you just kill yourself yeah?

You forgot "smelly"

Amberl, you're straight out of university
Exactly how full do you expect your CV to be? The fact that you've graduated from Oxford should be enough for most employers.

And the fact she has massive breasts.

Well it's for a researcher position for an mp
and most of the candidates will have work experience with the relevant political party

Hmmmm, I wonder which party that might be.

Is this where you accuse me of supporting UKIP again?
