I'm not saying everything is relevant, but it's a skill to make it relevant.

A few years ago, I was seconded within a major organisation and they started making redundancies.

As part of my role, I worked with guys to produce CV's, complete job applications, produce covering letterers etc. Some of them didnt know what a CV was - nevermind how to make them relevant.
We got there in the end Wink

It certainly was!

The best bit was when they started getting interviews and jobs.

It shocking how many people can't write a CV. 

For entry level jobs I disqualify any CV with poor formatting, grammar and spelling without even reading it properly. I'm also tempted to bin anyone who says they enjoy 'going to the cinema, playing sprorts and socialising with my friends'.

Went down to Pittodrie tonight with some friends to watch Aberdeen's hammering of Motherwell. The 7-2 scoreline could have been so much higher, makes a nice change from Newcastle's usual cautious approach. Helped, of course, by Motherwell being unable to defend literally any ball into their box like....

The scottish football is like that. There are about 3 decent/mediocre teams and the rest shouldn't even go through the bother of turning up, you can see where the 3 points are going before a ball is kicked!
Hooe you enjoyed anyway, it's always a fun atmoshphere when that happens in any case.

Oh aye definitely! Have a watch of the highlights on the BBC, the defending for the third goal is comical  Big Grin

There you go Wink

Did McGee get much stick before the sending off? Did well as a player for Aberdeen less so as a manager.

Nice to see Bowman get on the scoresheet. Saw him in his last game for Gateshead and it looked like he was away. Signed for Motherwell the next day!

Ta, tried to link it last night but I couldn't work out how to do so on the app  Wink

Not really, at least I didn't notice anything. Only really got stick when he was sent to the stands, and that only lasted a couple of minutes. 

Still unsure as to why Lewis came off his line for that one…

I'd be quick if I were you, they might be allocated to another route in a few years time.

Caught the ex-GNE dual door B10 5157 on the 558 this morning. Good to see these crop up on one of my local routes. Think I might become a regular passenger now. Big Grin

Went to watch my local football club Blyth Spartans today.
Looks like after a few seasons of coming close that they should win the league this year. 13 points clear with 6 games to go (although some teams have more games to play). Tense game aswell, missed a few chances and then Rushall equalized in 90th minute only for us to score again in the 92nd minute. good 3 points with a 2-1 win.

No wonder you are happy then, seems to have been very popular from what I have seen on the TV.
