        Been in the same place for 7 years with multiple roles.
        Should i put in any prior jobs to this? None really carry much importance. I'm more focused on current employer and recently finished degree.
        I'd be inclined to include it unless those jobs were while you were studying and won't leave a gap.

        'Study - unimportant job for a year - current job' looks better than 'Study - gap gap gap (what's he hiding?) - current job'

          Satnav : Fk off, I was drinking Vino till 4 am.

          Raoul : I hope it wasn’t that bottle I left by the table that we copulated on yesterday during the big waves . (let the waves do the work I say)

          Satnav: Yeah, I necked it.

          Raoul : NOT My Chateau Reserve Bordeaux rjoca bollix grand reserve cost me an arm and a leg so it must be nice wine bottle?

          Satnav: Wanna go on the table again.?

                Keep it to two pages is the main thing no? If they're not too relevant or if you're tight for space I'd leave them out.

                  I was sending them out in NZ and a couple of recruiters told me to change it. Since I've got home I've used the same CV.
                  I've had a couple of calls but a recruiter told to revert back.
                  Apparently they can change from region to region which I wasn't aware of.

                  A few people applied to your place Denny but as far as I know nobody got a call and I was told SIG are only taking on 2 graduates total, no word for anyone here which seemed very low given they gave a 2-3 hour presentation

                      It is, they gave an interesting presentation tbf. Apparently pretty tough to get, a few had interviews but no hires as far as I'm aware.

                        Ignore this advice, sorry Denny but it's not true at all.

                        It's not the 80's which is when this advice may have been correct. It's a terrible myth but if on the off chance you applied for a job to a hiring manager who has such a stupid and arbitory distinction why would you want to work for such a dick anyway.

                        People read CV's on screens and proper spacing over 4 pages is much better than reducing font size and removing spacing to squeeze into 2 pages.

                          Aintree Tipping Comp thread is this way >>>>>>.

                          No rush as it doesn't kick off until 12-April but early birds, worms etc. Think Sitch was the first one up for the Cheltenham competition and he scooped it.

                          Thanks in advance to eoghan104 who has stupidly graciously volunteered to be my underling for the first two days, run the comp, do all marketing shilling, make me breakfast in bed, take kids to school etc

                            You have a choice between it which is now default, times new roman because your old school and arial because your a robot. Never venture outside those 3 tho.

                              Dimensions data were taking on data grads - I am presuming that what your looking for?

                                Don't think we're taking on anyone at the moment. Probably be a couple of months until the next intake.

                                  I've always been more attracted to shorter cvs as a hiring manager.

                                    I'm not sure myself personally but its a mixed bag for the rest, I dont know if many are looking at data roles, more finance, most are looking at the likes of Citi, JPMorgan, Goldman's etc

                                        Lots of friends sharing their videos of that fire on FB. It looks to have burned through the top 5 floors and the roof. Hopefully people got out in time.

                                                I just drove past the Metro hotel about an hour and a half ago and didn't notice anything - Did it just start?

In theory I could do it myself, but taking up carpet and putting it back properly is my main concern. Is this something that is easier than one would think? Google so far hasn't been a great help to be honest.

                                                                                              The current burgundy passport, in use since 1988, will revert to its original blue and gold colour from October 2019.

                                                                                              The boss of UK supplier De La Rue told the BBC that Franco-Dutch firm Gemalto had won the £490m contract.

                                                                                              Culture Secretary Matthew Hancock said a final decision had not been made.

                                                                                              However, the Home Office said passports did not have to be made in the UK and some blank covers were already made overseas.

                                                                                              De la Rue boss Martin Sutherland told the BBC's Today programme: "Over the last few months we have heard ministers happy to come on and talk about the new blue passport and the fact that it is an icon of British identity.

                                                                                              "But now this icon of British identity is going to be manufactured in France."

                                                                                              He added: "I'd like to ask Theresa May or Amber Rudd to come to my factory and explain to our dedicated workforce why this is a sensible decision to offshore the manufacture of a British icon."

                                                                                              'Undercut'

                                                                                              De La Rue, which has held the contract to manufacture British passports since 2009, said it it had been "undercut on price" by Gemalto.

Looking to buy a smaller engined crossover/small SUV type car for approximately €12 all in - worth going via the UK route or not, maybe it is only worthwhile for higher spec models.

Running a spell check is surprisingly rare also.

                                                                                                    Will read it properly if I see something I like but the internal teams see way more CV's than me so its even more important if going in directly.

                                                                                                    Also sending your CV in word and not locking it is a great help. pdf's and locked docs are just a pain.

                                                                                                      Any idea how long the wash out would be?
                                                                                                      It really depends on dosing. If you juiced up to the eyeballs during a 7-8 week training schedule there would be perhaps a 3 week window after this that you would probably fail a blood test (probably only 1-2 weeks for the urine test). However this type of doping is hopefully long gone.

                                                                                                      A cyclist would get noticeably improved performances from a weekly dose of only around 3000 IU. It would maybe be detectable for 48-72 hours. However if you used more regular injections, but of a lower dosage: say 3 separate injections of 1000iu during the week, each one would only be detectable for less than a day (and less than 12 hours for the urine test). So if it is injected prior to going to bed, the window for testing positive is so small. For the testing to be conclusive, the natural EPO produced by the body needs to be distinguished from the synthetic EPO. With smaller and regular dosing of the synthetic EPO the red cell production stimulated more accurately mirrors the natural production of the human body. This is why the time window is so small.

                                                                                                      The TUE process is there for good reason. A person with a medical condition should be allowed to take medication to preserve his or her health. I think most elite road cyclists will still use EPO on at least an occasional basis. It is extremely easy to buy it, and the benefits are hard to resist. I would be amazed if a cyclist could compete for GC victory in a grand tour without it.

Running a spell check is surprisingly rare also.

                                                                                                                Will read it properly if I see something I like but the internal teams see way more CV's than me so its even more important if going in directly.

                                                                                                                Also sending your CV in word and not locking it is a great help. pdf's and locked docs are just a pain.

Looking to buy a smaller engined crossover/small SUV type car for approximately €12 all in - worth going via the UK route or not, maybe it is only worthwhile for higher spec models.

                                                                                                                        I never met him just got estimates and ultimately didn't go that route.
