New - The things that really annoy you

[Keef]

Uploading a CV on a job application, clicking continue then spending 35 minutes filling in forms asking about all the stuff on my CV.
ITS FUCKING ALL THERE ON MY CV YOU WANKERS, JUST FUCKING READ IT

 

[Lupo]

Are CVs making a comeback? They seemed to have gone out of fashion but upon my return to the market I have applied for 2 jobs and both asked for a CV rather than an application form. Had to did one out from 2019 but preferable to a form

Youngest son applied for a job in Telford that does work for the MOD, so needs to pass security checks, the whole process has took about 4 months so far, passed security, now awaiting a start date that could take another month.

Indeed uses them, sort it out on your profile then usually it’s a one click apply on a job you want, gives the option when applying of adding relevant certificates before you click send

Think I had one stored on there at one point. I hadn't applied for anything for ages so was a bit out of practice but I'm 2 in now!

Seems a long time compared to various security clearances I've had to do for work - projects for MoD, MoJ and other shady government organisations - though there are various different levels of clearance with their own checks and requirements.

Its an easy quick way to weed people out - shit messy CV then you don't need to interview them, that doesn't come across on a form.

With many recruitment companies and businesses using AI many CVs don't even get to be seen by a human being. They get filtered for the language or phrases that are required. Dependent on the seniority of the position/sophistication of the business, ensuring you mirror what's used in a JD is key as is not just having one CV you send out whatever. Content now is more important than ever as there's nobody 'looking beyond' errors or something that's badly constructed

This is such important advice. They're literally telling you what they want to hear. If you just use a one-size CV, you're massively disadvantaging yourself

 

[MARKakaJIM]

There's still a predominantly human touch to recruitment in my industry - many of whom take a strange stance on things. Nearly everything goes through 3rd party recruiters rather than direct with employers so you get a bit of conversational vetting between parties through an intermediary before you even get to a point of sharing CVs or having interviews. There's an awful lot of cloak and dagger bullshit though - you'll get very vague approaches by recruiters just giving you a job title and town/county then they won't share anything more without speaking on the phone. Seems to be a bit of a shortage in my field at the minute though and a few vacancies have been banded around by loads of people over the last 12 months so you can pick up on particular phrases or wording to figure out who the employer is.

I would find the loss of earnings extremely annoying rather than the actual jury service.

I've just renewed my home insurance policy and noted that through the policy I could claim for loss of earnings not covered by the employer.

People taking selfies with a dead Pope. WTF!

With apologies to Alan, probably Americans, after all, Trump and his Missus are, ‘looking forward to it’.

Two men felled Sycamore Gap tree in ‘mindless’ criminal act, court told

Pair showed ‘expertise and a determined, deliberate approach’ during their ‘moronic mission’, prosecutor says

A firing squad is a bit extreme I realise, but wtf is wrong with some people.

 

[Del Woppio]

Absolutely outrageous behaviour, pair of utter cunts. Whatever punishment they get will be wholly insufficient

 

[Derby Wolf]

BBC news caught them walking toward the court earlier and they look as stupid as you'd imagine.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I still can't understand why anyone would do such a mindless act. It was such an iconic and beautiful part of Northumberland.

MLS commentators jerking themselves silly over a Manchester City Academy player.

We are very immature in that we still think any player even vaguely attached to a European power is the Second Coming of Christ.

Been given a start date for Wednesday, he's chuffed as his starting salary up about 6% as he'd have had a raise in April
