    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.

                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

                    always mention it, apparently being willing to take tulip from feckwits makes me special.

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