    I know the biggest bit of luck you need in getting a job is someone not as qualified and experienced as you applying.

    Keep going, Phil - you haven't quite scraped the bottom of the Barrel of the Bleedin' Obvious. I'm awaiting your next thread 'How many pieces of toilet paper are enough?'
    I am not stubborn. I am merely correct.

    If you insist on showing your !!!!! to the world, we will oblige by kicking it.

    I bet you find it hard given how much of your time you waste posting drivel on here.

    I find applying for jobs hard because I am not good at making myself out to be wonderful and perfect like CV's and interviews require.

    Have it your way - it's tedious for everyone else on here hearing you witter on about yourself. If you ever do get a job, I pity your colleagues in advance. They'll string you up by the water butt by the end of Week 1.

    some suitable job for you phil.

    invoice inputter. You could sit at a computer typing all day.
    Pantomime actor. You could be the troll in the billy goats gruff... or whatever the story is.
    Bell ringer. You're already a !!!!!! so it'd suit you fine.
    Dolite. You're halfway there anyway

    Why would I bother? Gawd you're so desperate for attention of any kind that it's frightening. Grow up.

    Any employer will be interested not only in academic achievements, but also an indication of other pursuits interests and hobbies

    But however tempting it is, I'd suggest you don't put the Moneysavingexpert website on yours.
