... you sort your bloody CV out.

No wait, that's wrong.

... try try and try again. And if it helps, fix the CV.

So yea, for those of you that know I applied for a program about a month ago. As this shows, I failed to get a phone interview. I did however give the recruitment company a ring, where I spoke to a very very nice guy called Nick, who basically said I needed to keep at it and get more experience. It seems that 10 months of doing what I do isn't long enough. Lets hope another 5 months on top will help for the next round of applications. I think I also need to sort out the wording and stuff on my CV. He said it was a good CV, I just need to show what I've learnt doing what I do, and how this would help me on the program.

So after a day of feeling bummed out, I feel a little happier. And I will try again. And I will be better. And they'll give a damn phone interview.

Of course, I then need to be good enough in the phone interview to get a face to face interview, and I need to be good enough in that to get a position. Alot of hard work... at least I can save up more money this time :D

It better be bloody worth it :P

Mind you my idea of that motto is:- if at first you don't suceed, give up, give to someone else to do and go find something more fun to do instead, probably dosn't help you much here though lol. Toodle pip, hugs Abbey xxx If I suck on your Jelly Tots, will you lick my Lollipop?
