Since when do you work for a recruitment company?

Since 2007. I don't work in recruitment, though.
But recruiters don't understand my industry and have latched onto Microsoft accreditations as a way of saying "yep, he's definitely qualified to show a fuckwit like me how to turn on my monitor".

Microsoft accreditations teach you how to use sixteen different DOS commands
to remote build a computer, which nobody in the world actually uses because everybody uses Ghost.

I still don't understand what it is.
But good luck.

I'm just annoyed and sounding off, really.
Imagine a specific bunch of textbooks that you don't need to understand how to wire a plug. Imagine wiring a plug is quite a specialised task to the extent that the people that recruit you have no idea how it works; it may as well be magic. Imagine that text book forces you to learn six months worth of pointless bullshit when you know perfectly well that it's three wires and a flathead.

Oh right,
I know the sort, what a load of Bollocks.
We used to have to go on all sorts of cellar courses and stuff in the pub, absolute Bollocks.

I expect I'm just going to have to fucking suck it up
but it's the principle, Windy.

I think you should vomit on the certificate and throw it at the woman.

So no understanding of "experience" whatsoever then.

On her face.

She told me SHE did a shit on your chest.
And then you rubbed it in and licked your fingers clean and then finished yourself off into YD's mouth while your Mum gave him some band practice.
