I'm not interested in banking or insurance so I couldn't tell you.Originally posted by zerointeractive View PostYes may be.
But what do you think about specific sectorial experience, i.e. banking or insurance ? On Jobserve many opportunities require previous experience in banks or insurance, and I suppose my lack of experience in these sectors is causing me to be trown away everytime."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I only hate people that demand something from me for free. I get my CV reviewed by professionals and get a textwriter to advise me on covering e-mails. It costs me 150 euros each time, I do it once every couple of years and it appears to pay for itself.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostPlus I mainly hate people.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Fair enough. I hate people who demand something from me for free.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI only hate people that demand something from me for free.

I also hate people who attempt to engage me in small talk, people who invade my personal space, people who comment on my food, people who say 'Sorry!' when they've no reason to, people who aren't punctual, people who think they're hilarious, people who use 'LOL', people who don't use the 'Next Customer' divider at the checkout, and people who slurp hot drinks.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
