Meenzer 16043 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Do people still put hobbies and interests on CVs? 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...

Christmas Tree 4981 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Shorts it then. Next question. Does size 32 waist equate to medium or short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 44206 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Oh, are you a size 32? We didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11266 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't forget to tell them you're a mod on here I agree with Meenz though, don't put that you "like going out with mates" or anything like that, but definitely mention the guitar teaching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Shorts it then. Next question. Does size 32 waist equate to medium or short? Make sure that you have a pair with underpant lining so that the boys are kept in the barracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32257 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I agree with Meenz though, don't put that you "like going out with mates" or anything like that, but definitely mention the guitar teaching And ffs please do not state that you 'Can work independently or as part of a team'.

No disrespect CT but am 6ft2 and just over 14 and a half stone, you're 5ft 7 and 14st, so how am I a 34 waist and you're a 32 waist??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32257 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 You reckon? *changes cv* Just a personal bugbear of mine when reading CVs. It's essentially a long winded way of saying that you can work. Which you'd hope is a given anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 11266 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?"
