Depends on the job I reckon, if it's the kind of thing where it might be a point of interest at the interview (say) then it's worth adding. Mind, I always mention Eurovision. Gets it out of the way rather than having to come out at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a pointless fucking sentence. It'd be nice to read an original CV once in a while. I must get 20-30 a week, most of them, due to piss poor literacy, are binned after reading the opening sentence. The ability to correctly spell the name of the person you are asking for work shouldn't be too much to ask, should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11313 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sure I've told you beofre, but a mate of mine takes the top half of the pile of CVs and dumps them in the bin, because "Who the fuck wants to work with someone that's unlucky?"
