    Test the waters for the skill of "Hit the ground running". I think it's having a resurgence, after a summer in the doldrums. There are 71 Jobserve contracts that require it today.

    My own new contract meanwhile, has required me to hit the ground completely stationary (like a gymnast) and remain thus for the whole week. Who'd have thought there was such good money in reading policy documents?

    I am being thinking of posting much cheapness and much quality with the name of Nigel Milton-Keenes.

    I am also being in need of a nice English girl to marry.

    Do the boards have any particular skill set they want testing, plus I would be grateful if you could suggest some fake names.

    Why not create a cv for a recruitment agent. Grab names from 'real' agents who advertise on jobserve, and then send the cv at will to all the other agencies with a covering note that your after a new challange. Repeat the process for each agent. Shouldnt be too hard to automate this process on a daily basis from jobserves feed

    Has this not already been done in loads of studies? I know the French do this a lot as 'isms' theoretically don't exist there.
