      there is a little scintilla of a chance that the interviewer did rocket science, or that he went to the same uni.
      It's never happened so far(to me), but I hold out the hope that it may get me a job at least once

        You could have applied for that job for me down in Cannes. I was looking for a rocket scientist...

              del *.* should have asked for Y/N confirmation, or maybe not? I am going to try it no...

                It was a story they told. I don't know the details, but I also called him delboy anyway. I assume he also pressed Y - bit like the big red button or the button with the sign "do not press". Never been tempted?

                  No, I use Norton Commander since 1990 (moved to complete rewrite called FAR), no need for command like deletion

                    reminds me of a story, I have no idea if this is true.

                    A medium sized country pub, the landlord installed a little cherub in the ladies, with a fig-leaf on a hinge over his little winkie.
                    The fig leaf was connected to a bell that rang in the bar when the fig leaf was raised......

                      So far, I have had a couple of returned calls, although sometimes just a fishing expedition, but nothing in terms of an interview as yet.

                      I now it is a bit tough out there at the moment but was getting a bit worried about the contents and layout of the CV. My layout is:

                      ------------------------------------------------------------------

                      NAME (AT TOP)

                      PERSONAL DETAILS
                      -Age, etc.


                      KEY SKILLS
                      -bulleted list of skills picked up along the way - quick to view, most important at the top to least important.

                      EDUCATION
                      -bulleted list of education.

                      CAREER HISTORY
                      -again bulleted chronological list (most recent first) of previous jobs with sub-bulleted lists of tasks/responsibilities/packages/technologies used.

                      REFERENCES
                      -YEA RIGHT - GO SCREW MR AGENT (AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST).

                      ------------------------------------------------------------------

                      CT
                      If you are the wrong side of 35, lose any reference to age.

                      Some on here recently suggested leaving out your home address but I'm not so sure.
