She? That's very perceptive of you Mollers. No pic, probably a blessing...

I love the "need a job/sent from my blackberry :-)

And with such application skills I doubt she's been in previous employment

She clearly needs more than just a job. If she wants to work for you she obviously needs treatment too. Poor soul.

A recent applicant for a summer vacancy here at KB put as one of their "skills"

"Experienced in handling customers both internally and externally"

In case you're wondering...........they didn't get the job!

Perhaps they were an unemployed doctor?

I have one working for me at the moment from the fair town of Havant (read Leigh Park) who during our days work confessed to not knowing The Queen's first name , thought Gordon Brown was Prime minister and considers darts a sport ! He hopes to join the Army some hope !

That's a perfectly normal expression in many industries, seen it on plenty of CVs

that might reflect more on the engagement of those institutions with the "yoof" than on the yoof in question though...

its interesting what some people do/don't consider a sport. I'd guess most people would accept that Archery could be a sport (its in the Olympics, requires considerable skill etc). Yet take away the bow and suddenly its a pub game?

Quote:

Why would anyone want to fight a war on behalf of a PM who he doesn't know or to protect a queen who he can't name? However I doubt either of those are reasons for rejection so long as he is willing to put in the physical effort and tow the line.
