I know at least 2 people who have told me that they would not hire anybody that had BCS on their CV, i.e. it's going straight in the bin.

What I was saying is that any organisation that attracts a poll that doesn't include the andyw option has serious problems.

I used to be a BCS member in the 1990s, but no clients or agents cared about it. I found the higher BCS echelons too far up their own @rses and living in the 1970s. So having passed the exams I didn't see the point of paying them the annual fee any more and I left.
MENSA are a harmless bit of fun, and they do promote 'using and improving your brain' which is probably a good thing, but don't put them on your CV.
I'm a member of an organisation for my specialism, and I put that on my CV because it means something to clients.

I wouldn't even want to be associated with them let alone let others know.....

Had some feedback on mine in another thread, and (all feedback is gratefully received) one chap mentioned it is a serious no no on the CV as it conjours up images of weirdy beirdy academics. I'm not saying whether I am or not btw. But what say you all. In true room 101 style, BCS on the CV, In or out?
Total crap. People who are saying its a no - no for the cv say that as they know its on theirs and gives them an advantange in the current climate at least.
Oh, erm!

It will impress the people who are impressed by that sort of thing: the rest just won't care.
Now about that emoticon. Mods?
Edit: No problem with pimply post grads getting gigs. I was one once. I have problems with pimply post grads grabbing MY GIGS. Not ageist, but I was brought up to respect my elders. There seems to be none of that these days.Last edited by suityou01; 1 February 2009, 15:01.
