    None of the jobs I have applied for I am perfectly experienced or qualified for but you are never going to find a perfect job.

    Try Village Idiot. :D
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    Phil - you don't need to get a job. Instead apply for a patent for that incredibly thick skin and reinforced cranium you have. You can market the tumbleweed as an accessory. Knock on doors with it and you'll make the JWs seem welcome guests of honour.

    Post your cv on here together with the type of job/salary you're going for. No-one on here will give you any constructive advice (clearly you've upset a few people, which might be useful to bear in mind should you get an interview) but it will at least give you a chance to reflect!

    [blah blah blah} the thing is, if I'm so b***dy brilliant, why am I still broke?

    There is no need to be so mean to me.

    I am just try to work out how long it might take me to find a job.

    I am sure at some point in your life you did not know everything about jobs and the world like you do now as you are now perfect.

    You never fail to amuse me with your stupidity.

    Do you honestly not realise how inanely stupid and impossible that is as an exercise? Most people I would advise to just be themselves at interview but in your case that's so not a good idea. Carry on at interview like you do on here and the answer's going to be infinity.

    I know it is a near impossible question but to get a rough idea of how many applications it takes people gives a ball park figure.
