    [Misc] CVs with photos.

    Putting aside the misguided thinking of theirs, it's also quite a gamble to assume that the interviewer is going to be a heterosexual male, or (not that i think this would ever enter their thinking) a gay female.

    [Misc] CVs with photos.

    And that's kind of my point. It doesn't. If anything I have to remind myself not to be prejudiced against those who have included a photo on their CV and to make decisions based purely on their potential to do the role. So what benefit do those who use them see in them?

    [Misc] CVs with photos.

    Just looking over so CVs now as my department has a job going (mine, actually). It struck me that I've never seen a single CV that comes with an image of the applicant where the applicant is not either a bit of a looker, or thinks that they are. Actually thinking about it, I've never seen one...

    [Help] Help for job interview - digital sales and programmatic advertising

    well I got the job, so well I suppose! I took the advice given here, plus spoke to a couple of key personnel within the business and evidently managed to hit the spot. Start date TBC as I am on 3 months notice but I'm looking to get that pushed through earlier. Thanks all, Rob.

    Loving the way all the commentators hope of a 'late' comeback is getting more and more sad and desperate!

    LOL - possibly the best 50 yard lob i've seen in my life, certainly the most enjoyable. Even more enjoyable than Nayims!

    GBNews: anyone watching?

    Unless I'm mistaken, they've just spent 15 minutes interviewing a man on his fishing boat about the migrant crisis, then asked for a tour of his boat using his phone, before asking him to go out on deck to scan the horizon for migrant crossing boats, again using his phone. If I had not seen it...

    [Misc] What is the oldest thing you have used "As new"?

    Found a 16 year old pack of smoked mackerel fillets in the back if my mums fridge when clearing it out the other day. However I decided not to use them.

    [Drinking] Skiver wins tribunal

    1999 i tore my achilles and was off for the best part of 3 months. I did get the company I worked for at the time to set me up with a computer at home but the connectivity back then was so shite that it was virtually useless so i went to the pub most days (I was in a walking cast after the first...

    [TV] Disney+

    you've kind of answered your own question. Spotify standard is fine for most systems. Audiophiles? well they are a breed apart!

    [TV] Disney+

    Apologies, I misunderstood your previous post. As you say, Spotify Premium is a non-negotiable!

    [TV] Disney+

    I have.. Netflix Amazon Prime Now TV (entertainment only) Disney Plus Spotify Premium. In contrast to you, I'd keep Spotify premium above any of the others.

    [Technology] Dyson purifier

    I'm another 'Dyson are shit' person. Bought one of their vacuums a few years back. Never again. Corded Henr(ietta) all the way now, much better. Also think the 'Cool Me' is a massive swizz. A preference to air-con/cooling but the reality is that that it cools naff all, just pushes around warm air.

    [Albion] Bobby Z gets bare for StrongMen

    nothing makes the average man feel better about themselves than seeing the image of a perfectly sculpted Adonis.
