RIP Neville Wran, while I may not be a supporter of your political persuasion, New South Wales has found it hard to find a leader to follow in your footsteps.

If anyone notices an odd plane at BNE today, its likely to be CZ stopping by at 10.30 with their 787 on the way home from Auckland, same again Thursday.

I met Neville in 1984. It was just after he announced the construction of the Sydney Monorail.

He had just opened the Mall in my town & on the way back to his car, I somehow stopped him. I told him that I liked the plans for the monorail.

A photo was taken by a local paper & the next week, my meeting with him was front page news. Not bad for a 10 year old, even if I was partly misquoted. The paper said that I said that I don't care about the mall but to Neville or the reporter, I didn't express an opinion on it.

This one is for a role I haven't applied for so I am starting from scratch.

Internal?

They are the worst kind of applications!

Me too.

And now I dont have a resume I am not motivated to recreate my resume.

 

[JessicaTam]

Yep and yep.

At least if I bomb out I still have my current job!

Aah yeah job hunting in general. What a pita!

But it's SO worth the time and effort in tailoring your resume to the role (if you want it). And for me, the CV is a proof of ability to do the job in my team. I use theCV to test ability to do the job & then the interview to validate that and check for team fit. I don't like CVs that make me guess or read between lines to see why the candidate can do the job.

And don't talk to me about typos or Word docs with only Normal style - uugggghhh!!!

I loathe doing applications and then going through the interview process with amateurs who don't know who they want or what skills they need and are too ignorant to get guidance.
