"Hi, just seen your CV. It's about the job you applied for yesterday. If I email you a job description, could you write some bullets on how you meet each of the requirements."

"OK" says I.

I just got the email. Four pages of requirements. 1,298 words.

"Please could you respond ASAP - I have to get it back to the client before 12:00"

"Wotcha RC. Having a good morning?"

It's going to be one of those mornings.

"Yes it's still grey, no it's not raining, I'm working on an application, must go..., yes I've found my lunch, must go... that's nice, yes speak to you later... etc"

It was Mrs RC checking up on me.

Right ... back to the reqmts it is.
