Is someone called 'Esther' likely to be a granddad?

I didn't like to say, it's only my first day here so thought I'd stay quiet to keep friends

PS I'm not even a grandma!!

Friends? You have admitted you are a recruiter, that ship sailed a long time ago, be thankful we are not spitting in your face!

Handwriting on CVs?

Was this the 1990s or the 1890s?

I used to do a fine page or two of copperplate back in the day, but even I'd got around to printing the damn thing by 1987.

Next step was getting a fax machine.

In permiedom back in the 80s, our boss came out of his office to show us a CV he had just received. It was handwritten, in an almost illegible scrawl, and full of crossings out and smudges. We literally couldn't believe our eyes! It was the funniest thing I had seen in ages.

Obviously the guy who had posted it actively didn't want the job, but for some unfathomable reason was going through the motions. Either that or he was seriously deranged.

Didn't people have typewriters?

Welcome

I left the recruitment desk and moved into IT, then into accounts. Popularity has never been a career driver!

But thanks for the warm welcome
