      And the top half is PM PM PM as well - and I didn't put the technology at the top 'cos its not the most important thing!

      In fact my earlier CVs didn't even mention the technology as I didn't think it was important, thing is pimps complained that I had no keywords in my CV!

        The rest of the CV is all PM PM PM.

        So why do pimps call me up for Java/Oracle developer roles?

        Are they short of candidates?

        (vent over - thanks!)
        I'm more concerned with why you felt the need to write this post in Comic Sans MS!?

        Why?

        Why did you do this?
        The pope is a tard.

          Must have been for comedic effect.
          I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

                    Luckily I don't have to wear a tie as for mouse pointers I can't be bothered with all that rubbish.

                    Goodness me I felt like changing the font once - and it has attracted so much attention? Is it lunchtime or something - oh yes it is - I'm one hour ahead in CET!
