Evening Wankers.
How are you all this evening?
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:04, 290 replies, latest was 14 years ago)
Evening Jeff.
I'm good thanks, still plugging away at my application (although I've had a two hour break from it). How are you?
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:07, Reply)
Not bad at all thanks.
I've also been doing some work on the employment front, there is every change the contract I'm working on will come to an end around Christmas time, if not sooner, so I've been updating my C.V accordingly and speaking to a few agencies.

How much more work have you got to do on your application?
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:09, Reply)
Not a lot really.
Just the spiel on how my experience makes me the ideal candidate for the job, and some examples of how I meet their seven key values. I've done three, but they've stipulated no more than fifty words per value, which isn't a lot. So I'm trying to think of stuff that can be easily articulated without having to go into a lot of background detail.

Hope you make progress.

There is nothing urgent about my situation at the moment, only that I know I won't have enough cash
saved by Christmas to jump on a plane and go away for a month or two, so a bit of planning is in order.

What sort of values are they looking for answer on?
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:19, Reply)
Customer focus
Openness, respect, integrity, innovation, reliability and motivation. I can answer them, but fifty words is a bit tight.
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:29, Reply)
I can't imagine it's that easy to complete.
But on the plus side, any job that provides a challenging application process will get fewer applicants for it. Most people will just post their C.V online and then wait and see what happens.
(, Mon 3 Oct 2011, 18:31, Reply)
I've filled in similar types of application before
but none have had such a restrictive word count. Still, it's an online form that can be saved, and I've got all week to do it but I'd like to have it out of the way by Wednesday at the latest.

It's alright, doesn't itch at all, it's like it's not there (in terms of any sort of pain/scabbing/itching/whatever).

I like it, but when I told the doctor this morning he said "Oh, from The Lion King?", and quite a few collegues have said that too. I know it's a natural conclusion, but it's a bit '=/' that someone would think that a first tattoo would be from a disney film. Mind you, the disney film might mean a lot to someone, so I guess that's cool too.

I think it's the most supprising thing I've done though, no one expects me to have one, espesh people who know me and my needlephobia.

"What?!" cries the woman as she messes up. She looks through the window and sees no one. She returns to her guitar, and resumes playing. Just as she is about to get it right, once again a man leans through the window and shouts "TOI-HOI-HOI-HOI-HOI-HOI-LET!".

"Gaaaaaaah!" shouts the woman as she messes up again. She looks out the window - again, no one there. She resumes playing the guitar. Just as she is about to play it correctly, the same man leans through the window and has a heart attack and dies.

The woman stares down at her empty hands, as her guitar has suddenly vanished.

Oh nono, not supprised, it's a natural conclusion, and what I would think of first if I didn't know my life properly.
When I was a child, I went on holiday to Kenya quite a bit, and my Dad used to say when I was worried or stressed or anything like that, even in the height of depression and anxiety issues "Hakuna..... Hakuna....." unti eventually I would say "Matata", which was a way of placating me and showing that whatever the bad thing was, that it's over and no need to worry about it anymore. This was before Lion King was out.
