Quick question

Why are employers pricks? I mean, honestly if you don't like the shit just come out and say it. These,"Oh I didn't check it yet" shit is really getting fucking old man.

A majority of the places I applied to online I never even heard back from.

They say it's better to hand in CVs but I'm way too lazy to dedicate a day to doing that.

CVs are more detailed than resume, yeah? If I had to write one I wouldn't mind doing so its just I really have nothing write other than my one unofficial job, I graduated HS with a diploma, and goal is to go college. I just don't understand these people.

Anything to avoid confrontation or anything than can remotely lead to legal issues. Eggshell walkin' every which way.

I don't know the difference and I'm not interested enough to Google it, just always assumed resume was the American term for CV.



Take up voluntary work. It's what I did (and still do) and included it in my CV. Since the retail aspect was relevant to the job I was accepted to do Slave Labour Work Experience and my willingness to learn later on got me a (part time) job at the same place. Your experience may vary but basically it helps to do other things.

I forgot to mention but you probably already know, they also discriminate on appearence if you aren't up to par with their standards. They're not supposed to but they do. But that's why we're always told to apply to many places.


In England we're always encouraged to use "attractive keywords" when forced by the Jobcentre to do a CV building course. But the sentence structure they make us use makes us all sound the same, as I realised from reading people's CVs who've applied to where I work.

Don't know abut office-type work, but in the trades, I've gotten most of my jobs after interviews and calls. I believe meeting someone face-to-face or just talking to them makes a big difference.

Work experience makes a huge difference too, though; which leads to the vicious tailchaser that many people face today- won't hire you since you lack experience, can't get experience since you won't get hired.

That's what really baffles me. Glad that I manage to scrape past that stage (3-5 years tends to be the magic number).


And yeah, Grav- Resume and CV are pretty much the same thing.

Question. Why are employees idiots?

They never think from the perspective of an employer.

They don't seem to realize that business is the employers livelihood.

An employee doesn't care if they forgot to lock the shops door when they close up.

They don't care about the employer when they call off last minute and the employer has to spend hours looking for a filler.

An employee doesn't care that the employer has to balance their shops profit with the expenses of running the shop, paying employees and paying their own bills. Basically making it hard for them to never forget about their business.

An employee doesn't care about the employer. So why do employees expect so much?
