Didn't really feel I got anywhere.

Firstly, Have had a long chat with the recruitment consultant and looks like I am going to be asked for interview at the beginning of Feb - however it was clear they had no understanding at all of my industry/science/job experience (wonder if they had really read my CV?) and you have to wonder how "enthusiastically" they will present you to their clients.

Interviewed by them? Or by a prospective employer? If by them, then you can use short words. Anything scoring over "5" in scrabble is a no-no...

I obviously reassured them and gave them examples for each of their criteria as to why I was right for the job ...but really don;t hold out much hope. One thing however, obviously need to produce a "gumby" guide CV.. :cool:

Maybe not a gumby guide CV, but a gumby guide "executive summary" for your agency. After all, those out there who want to employ you obviously will understand your talents, otherwise they would not have asked for them.

Hi Gemmzie

Aww hugs Hun :grouphug:

Know what you mean about not being able to get away without a major upset....I am suffering from a mental moment of eating two chocolate biscuits.....now I just suck the chocolate off!!

Spelt Wholegrain (by Doves Farm) is now available in most supermarkets in the flour and baking section...and there are recipes for spelt bread on the internet depneding upon whether you hae abreadmaker or not...also Doves farm now do gluten and wheat free flour. I have bought some of that too to try in cheese sauce/pizza dough etc - first attempt at cheese sauce came out OK although you don't seem to need so much of it as normal flour...we'll see what happens in future baking exploits as I get a bit more adventurous (never been one to bake cakes/scones/pastry etc but I do want to try pasta as I used to eat loads of that)

Shame you can;t make it to Manchester - whereabouts are you Hun? Surely not down my way in Sussex?

It's Doves wheat and gluten free we get now, will look out for the spelt version. Have you seen that Lactofree are bring out a cheese now and a soft cheese in February - I'm so excited :j (That's sad isn't it )
I miss pasta too, need to get a press for that though and they aren't too cheap.

Nah further South then West a lot

Sorry to hear about Grommie hun *hugs*

Honey, I am so sorry to hear about Grommie, fingers crossed for the X-rays. You know where I am if you want to sob down the phone or rant or whatever.

Oh and ditto Zed on the recruitment consultants and CV. These guys only have to get you to the next stage so they just have to find you the right types of job - then you should be back with people that talk the same language.
