Life And The Indentured Serf Part 3
So, this session was to "improve" my CV. Oh My Gods! My advisor is a nice enough woman, but is grammatically illiterate, can't type, can't spell, and has NO idea of how to do a CV that isn't contained within her handbook. All those stock phrases that I first bumped into in the long ago days of Job Club, and that I assume HR are So sick of seeing come crawling in on a CV, are contained within. She was cutting and pasting bits that she thought were good from other CVs on the system, whether they were relevant or not (and some of those CVs were frankly appalling - bad grammar, bad formatting, spelling mistakes that the spill chucker hadn't picked up). Basically that was an hour of my life wasted, because I would be ashamed to send that thing out with my name on it.
No mention of sending me out to stack shelves this time - I pointed her at the Action for ME website, and maybe it sank in. Either that or the placements just aren't there.
In other news Muffin is rapidly becoming the local Death of Pigeons - that's 2 he's had in the last week. FYI pigeon wing is very crunchy (thank you for that Molly....)
Internet went down on Thursday - it was scary. I had absolutely no way of finding out what was going on in the world without actually going outside. Yuck. The nice man came and fixed it this morning and the world seems to have survived in the meantime.
