    CV Help

    name and contact gubbins at the top, qualifications etc with a single paragraph statement - I am an experienced xyz with xyz experience in xyz industry(ies) working for xyz type companies (blue chip, multi national that type of thing). Mine has a single sentence with a skills summary table underneath. Then sections for each job/role you've done to be structured: From - to, Employer, Role/title, with SHORT bulleted statements below that stating achievements, tailor that part each time for any role you are going for to match things they're looking for in the job description. i.e. a different or new CV for each job you're going for. In IT stick in as many appropriate key words as you can, e.g. Oracle, .Net, Linux that sort of stuff, if your going for project environment stuff things like methodologies - Waterfall, Agile, etc etc etc you get the picture I hope. Oh and don't lie, everything should have a basis of truth, which even if it's a tenuous link/experience you can beef it up via good ole Google. Sensibly spaced, no-one wants to plough through war and peace, punchy stuff, if someone wants to drill down detail they'll get that at interview.
  2. If Carlsberg made rollercoasters....................
  3. Must be shite, they're below us and we are beyond shite evidently
  4. Well (stolen from elsewhere) Since all the January French lads came in we've got 43 points from 29 league games. Equates to 56pts if you take that points rate out over a 38 game season. We finished 5th with 56pts in 2003/04. In recent seasons, typically you can expect to finish 7th-9th if you get 56pts (HF's historical points table would confirm that/or not if I could find it). So our shite manager (copyright N-O) is doing OK with what he has tbh
  5. Thought Sissoko and Cabaye were pretty poor but we still carried the greater threat up to half-time and into second half. Krull mare for their first (and should have done better for the third)less said about Webb the better. We were poor, but not 3 goals worse by any stretch IMO N-O is in meltdown :-) Wish I owned a cyber pitchfork and torches store.
  6. Thought we looked the more dangerous myself like, still reckon we'll score
  7. Aye but he's obviously got some dodgy photo's of the editor
  8. In a similar vein, Steve Bruce, we wouldn't pay the £300K (or whatever it was) for him
  9. Lot more tense that it needed to be but if Cisse's goal had stood (as it should have) we'd have been very comfortable despite the fall off in performance second half and no last 10 minute nerves to get through.
  10. But our "profitability" has risen and you said profit not commercial income
  11. What profitability have we ever had to half, with or without TV money ???? Other organisations have always made money through our shirts, it all comes down to the margin the club makes on a shirt irrespective of who sells it. I understand the distrust bit but £500K to SD is peanuts. You never know he could be saving the club a load of money, SD may be doing all the stuff for NUFC at cost, then again they may not. We'll likely never know but just because there's money going that way doesn't mean it's a "new" or bad cost tbh.
  12. Doesn't matter so long as the club are not worse off: As an illustrative made up example, maybe all the merchandise storage/distribution/logistics etc used to cost NUFC around £700K a year, if they outsourced that to SD (who will have a huge distribution network) for £500K, the club would pay SD £500K (or 498K) but actually be £200K better off.
  13. I appreciate that, but I'd simply get someone else to play RB, I wouldn't shuffle the whole back line to use one of those players as temporary RB.
  14. No no no !!! The back four have kept two clean sheets against good sides, one piece of that four will be missing, replace only that player, don't change 3 pieces of the 4 for the sake of the one, IMO of course.
  15. Just rejoin or use your old one, you're not banned
  16. Fun and games at Cardiff http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24454963
  17. So since 1950 they're 95% certain, yet: "It adds that a pause in warming over the past 15 years is too short to reflect long-term trends." The pause is too short to have any meaning, yet, said pause is 20% of the period over which they are 95% certain..................... Aye OK
  18. I do, for the first 10 years of my working life, I worked in debt collection dept of one of the major utilities, I very well know the difference between the can't payers and won't payers. I strongly suspect it's the latter who get into trouble with Wonga and their ilk, I also suspect many of the former actually benefit from having the likes of Wonga around in getting over short term hurdles because a lot of those folks aren't thick and actually would know what they're getting into and would do it based on a rationalised decision. As for "no fault of their own" I absolutely know that happens, was almost at the brink myself many many years ago during a legal case as the plaintiff, which I've described on here before, and the "institutions" were less than fucking sympathetic (despite preceding years of exemplary track record). To be honest, a Wonga back then would have been a godsend, on a couple of occasions, and would have been used properly and would have saved a lot of the shit and stress we went through for a period.
  19. And yet Wonga make HUGE profits, which means most folks can, and do, pay them back. For many they provide a useful service because the mainstream banks (many of which dwarf Wonga's profits) won't step into the breach. If there wasn't a Wonga who would put food on the kids table when cash has run out. Far less misery/lives destroyed by the likes of Wonga (if indeed any are) than booze and bookies and that's indisputable IMO.
