C.V's

[Tommasi]

Just seen a mates CV and he has on it that's he's a mag season ticket holder, is this normal? Seems a bit bizarre thing to put down unless you were after a job at Castle Greyskull.

Not normal just because anyone with a bit of sense will know that there is a 50/50 chance you won't even be considered for the job

not really true surely

 

[Summer Bee]

Is this a true story?

 

[MackneyHackem]

Is it part of a little 'about me' section where he talks about what he likes to do in his spare time?

Doesn't sound too odd if so.

Wouldn't surprise me... I've seen some absolutely ridiculous things put on c.v's.

Only yesterday I saw someone put on I like building things with Lego.

Employers don’t really give a shit what a person does in their spare time, but all other things being equal he wouldn’t get the job if I saw that

I thought that the "About Me/Hobbies" section was basically out of fashion nowadays, unless your CV is stupidly empty.

 

[MattyM 09/109]

Depends on the job, some bosses dont want to be hiring someone as a second who is smart, competent, capable and likely to be supplanting them in a year. Having that on will completely alleviate those fears.

 

[heroesof73]

Hobbies and interests :- Punching horses, Shouting at shops and vandalising Telephone boxes

 

[HABA87]

The "about me" bit should include stuff like volunteering and that which aren't direct to the role.

Not stuff like watching Corrie and horse punching.

 

[Baghdad McBadLad]

Is he trying to get a job with Chi in Parliament?

 

[HABA87]

Socialising
Travel
Boring people senseless

I haven't got it on mine like. Think I used to have it as filler.

Same here when I'd just left university but as you get more jobs and scientific papers (if you work in academic science), it just makes the whole thing way too long.

[Aituk7]

I think they were trying to show they are creative or like construction.... But fuck me it's dire....
