I find it difficult to fill in application forms about myself, at the best of times; have to think a huge amount because you want to put your case forward in the best way you can.
Mind you, I am sure that the more of them anyone does the easier it becomes.

Who said anything about 'the unshaven'?
Luckily, you don't need everyone to want your services. At £5 a time, you just need 15 people in a week. If you do something like gardening you generally get paid more than that and so need less people.
As I said, if you don't like any of my ideas you have a month to come up with better ones. What else are you going to be doing? Trolling on internet forums?
Which is another business idea. Companies do pay people to troll on internet forums saying that their business is great.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

True, but basically everything you could say about the subject was said in the first page.
'DWP makes more unfunded promises of changes for ministerial soundbites shocker.'“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

That's why I don't do it all in one go. Tackle one question at a time and save the application online (it is an online application form) and come back to it. I have a word doc where I am typing it all up a few examples a day and have a reminder to flash up on my laptop 3 days before the close date so I get it all done in time.mattcanary wrote: »With those types of applications, applying for jobs is more exhausting than working really.

Yes it may be hard applying for a job like this but I want the job and want to be given a chance so you have to do it.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Very altrustic tone but I'm afraid it's not really an advantage.
Personality can't be swatted up in the eleventh hour and there is the ugly side of nepotism in some cases.
I wish anyone luck but the cynic in me prevails.0 -

There is no reason why you shouldn't get an interview. If you can show you meet all essential criteria you stand a very good chance of getting one.
'I may be ok for the job and it is really ok if you turn me down'
I just do not expect to get an interview - can not be let down then. Oh yes and there is the fact they say the person has to have a background in education but I am not going to let that put me off as accounts is the same no matter what industry you are in. That is one of the essential criteria.We’ve had to remove your signature.

I do. Every day, all day till I go to bed. Sourced 10 companies yesterday to email and chased 60 job applications as well as applying for jobs (cv and cover letter) and started to fill in a large application form where I have one competancy question left to answer to compiling the answer over the next few days. It has to be between 2000- 4000 words for each reply!:eek:
Who has told you each answer has to be 2000 words? I think they might be winding you up. No recruiting manager is going to read all that.0
