And Then There Were CVs….

There were a couple of interesting/scary posts the other day on the subject of CVs. One by Mr. Redwood, here, and a follow-up by Mr. Not a Sheep from one of his previous posts, linked through here.

Could it be down to computers taking the place of education? Why fill your Swede with things when you can just Google it? Writing, using your wot? Hand? You gotta be kidding, right? A key board and a word processor is all you need for word containing stuff – templates cover it all, a quick grammar checking will sort out punctuation and how the sounding of it will be and a spill chequer four the…… Oh.

BTW, sadly, the future could be here. In fact this is now I guess. R U happy with that?

23. Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
24. He's got two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it.
