When your number is up? I had the Hepatitis A vaccine in 2003 but when tested a few years later no signs of having been vaccinated.

Should start thinking about possible vaccines and act.

Hep A vaccine immunity is not lifelong

RUOK? Please see your doctor or phone a help line if you're struggling.

Sad. Depression is not easily understood.

Sure but immunity is still supposed to last around 10 years?

Received some spam into my inbox this morning. Some guy sending out a job application cover letter and spammed a bunch of random people at my work.

I was about to send it to my spam folder but noticed there was a legit YouTube link, which he explained was his video resume.

Boy, are you guys in for a treat this morning.

Thanks for this one AisleSeat , I'm just heading out the door to do some first round interviews for Sales/Marketing roles, and I'm going to show this to them, and ask them to say what they would put in a Youtube Resume - but I wouldn't get them to make it though as much as I am tempted. But still, after the 4min I still couldn't work out who he was and what he could do - besides stand next to things....

How many Hep A injections did you get?

 

[JohnK]

How many Hep A injections did you get?

We did the 2 injections about 1 month apart if I remember correctly.

 

[Quickstatus]

Normally 2nd dose is 6-18 months after the first.
It is NOT unusual for the blood test to be negative because the level of antibodies are below detectable levels. So blood test to check for Hep A antibodies is not usually recommended.

Duration of immunity is uncertain but most say once you have 2 doses you are ok for life.

Booster doses are usually not necessary but because your 2nd dose is so close to first it may be a good idea to chat with your GP

As a result of immunisation against Hep A, the disease has been eradicated in the Aboriginal population (as least in QLD and NT last time I looked)

I'd like to hear their reactions!

You mean you didn't get that Rabih's a media officer specialised in administration, marketing, public relations and media affairs who's totally familiar with computer and internet and Microsoft Office? LOL

Come to think of it that sounds a lot like my very first resume, where stretching the truth to bulk things up a bit was badly needed.

Thinking about getting a 3D printer. I've seen a couple of designs over on Thingiverse, but for the cost to have them printed, I'd be able to afford an entry level printer myself.

 

[Denali]

A friend of ours has a 3D printer of some sort - he seems to make a lot of silly stuff.

 

[Denali]

Which reminds me, when 3D printers became more common, people were creating their own TSA lock masterkey.

Yes, because TSA were stupid enough to allow their master keys to be photographed!

My first important CV was only 4 pages. The title page took 25% of the page count.
When I applied for the job, the Professor queried why he should read mine when his was over 30 pages. I said fair point. I knew I got the job when he asked me if there was anything in mine that I would not tell my wife

How does someone kill their own 5 month old son? Very sad.

So was your answer yes or no?

 

[Quickstatus]

Haha No of course. It was the usual boring CV

I suggest to my staff that they add a page for each rank they progress. Starting at two pages.

These days the CV for most = social media accounts
