It happened before I was a Mod, and I'm not sure it's against the rules anyway, so I ended up in a little fight with the other poster.

Maybe now you're a moderator you can do something about it, or the site can 'outlaw' the practice. However have to say there's a certain other mod who uses the practice quite regularly themselves in the Current Affairs forum !

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
'quite regularly' - twice in the last five years... 
Could be worse, I could post every day being miserable and thinking the worst of everyone...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Yesterday was not a good day at all. My Mum had to go for another CT scan as her paraprotein is up. I suspect the cancer has spread further but will need to wait for the results.
In regards to hubby's job it's gone but they hope to either redeploy or TUPE the later we do not want and a hoping for redeployment. Today he is going to inquire about VRS as once Tupe has been sealed VRS will not be an option so today I find myself trying to do a cover letter for him and CV. The cover letter is not a problem but the CV I don't know if it's to long or to short. I have two pages with all the usual stuff Professional profile, Career summary, Qualifications, Professional development & References are available on request.
What is the norm for CV? 1 or 2 pages could anyone advice please as it has been so long since I have had the need to write one.

It may be what you do in "real life", but on the forum you can be, how can I put it, less than sunny...
Not defensive at all, just bring facts into the discussion - if you were maligning another mod, please accept my apologies for thinking it was me...
Re your posting rate, you have obviously upped your game recently, with nine today (so far), five yesterday, five the day before, three the day before that, twelve the day before that, seven the day before that, which gives you an average of around six a day....

I wasn't maligning another mod. Did you see what I could have done there? Would have changed the meaning of what you said completely but that would have made a mockery of quoting you.
Cheers

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Why are DVDs/Blu-rays/console games released on a Monday?
Star Wars 7 is such a case, which means I have to wait 5 days before I see it.

To be fair Hugh, you did make changes to a post of mine, then denied it. Then when I proved it beyond any doubt you claimed is was by mistake.
The Internet has millions of forums with 10's of millions of moderators but you have changed posts more than any moderator I have ever seen.

I really wouldn't worry about the number of pages - you can print the Bible on a stamp if you print it small enough. Decide the content first and design the CV to suit the type of jobs he'll be applying for. The aim is to make it interesting and relevant, hopefully, giving a few examples of any notable successes, achievements, experience, challenges overcome etc. The aim is not to say everything he's done in great detail but concentrate on the most relevant information and that which gives an indication of what he's capable of. Once you have done that, that's the time to lay it out in a format which is logical, clear and easily accessible so the reader can find what he/she wants to easily. The number of pages it occupies will be determined by how you do that and the font styles/sizes chosen but I don't see any reason why you should be worried about using more than 2 or 3 pages if that's what it takes to present what you feel is important and relevant. You're aiming to whet the reader's appetite - make them want to see your husband to find out more - and you can't do that with a CV which is little more than a chronological list of qualifications and job titles. In a nutshell, the CV needs to express not only what he's done but what he's achieved/contributed and, therefore, what he has to offer.

The real key to a good cv is transferable skills, do a generic cv with everything on it and tailor it to each specific job he goes for and don't make it to long, there's no need to list irrelevant jobs from ten years ago or having loads of hobbies or interests listed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Why is it that every time Facebook is updated they seem to make it more difficult to do anything. Its just taken me 10 minutes to post a picture and attach some writing about it.
