    Lack of Contract.

    Still sitting here without a contract.

    Apart from the fact I haven't been looking, applying, reaching out to my contacts, or had my CV on any job sites, do you think there could be any other reason?

    My CV is in Word 3.1 for work groups edition format, maybe that's wrong?

    My CV is too long, in fact I have tried to rectify that by splitting it into two ten page chapters.

    I'm too experienced for all the roles.

    It could also be the new facial tattoo and piercing I have had done, but surely that would be totally racist these days, right?

    Any help welcome

      You lying bastard - I've subbed out the Sunday morning swabbing out of NLyUK's dungeon gig to you. If you can't spin that out to sound like you're indispensable to multi-national organisations then I strongly recommend you turn permie. Or feuk off to New Zealand.

        When reading CVs I always look at the extended properties in Word to see if they are using ripped-off versions from former client co.

          I interviewed someone recently. Realised they voted Brexit. Showed them the door...

              Well done.

              How on earth does that relate to my situation

                Write it out again, but this time avoid the crossings out and ink blots!

                  The face tattoo generally is quite good, but perhaps the f*** you on your forehead should be redone as a swan.

                    Everything is because of Brexit. Didn't you know?
