    I have a CV stacked full of telecomms product development buzz words.

    I'm always getting calls for "Installation and Commissioning" (I.e going to a foreign country and putting cables down holes).

    I think there was a similar question posed a few minutes ago about how do you know that snow is thick?

    PS I only used one font in my cv - thanks!

    Goodness me I felt like changing the font once - and it has attracted so much attention? Is it lunchtime or something - oh yes it is - I'm one hour ahead in CET!
