It's really hard to make flipping burgers sound different at MacD's vs BK

We had a few laughs at Little Chef and Bernie inns. A Mate's claim to fame is he lasted 45 minutes at MaccyDs including a 15 minute break.

Flame grilled? Coke vs Pepsi? Whopper vs BigMc, you have plenty to go on

I worked at a little chef for a while. Only evenings and weekends as I was at school at time. Didn't stay for very long, probably only about 3 or 4 months.

Are all 31 year olds such whingers, or are you an exception? If you want a job, roll up your sleeves and get on with it. If not, stop complaining.

You're a contractor. You run a company. It takes work for a company to win new business. See the interview process as a sales process, that's all. Or think like a permie and see it as a job interview.

Just randomly put half the cvs in the bin. You don't want to employ anyone who is unlucky.

Oy! That's my gag! (although I pinched it off someone else )

He probably did no one takes notice of the list of technologies on the bottom of the CV, what you look at is the project experience.

No human may do, but computers do, which is why it is worth listing every major python module or .Net add-on etc you have ever used, for keyword searches

In my experience, the obscure technologes, such as SNMP, are especially well-worth including as these can put you above the crowd

That's not the only thing that makes you 'special'
