    Oh good, yet again I have none of the above.
    I love 5 years with a degree and 10 years with HND.

    Us degree virgins know where our elbow is when we leave college.

    Zeity - arent you tempted to knock up a mechanical engineering type CV (not sure how hard it is to blag) and sent it to him for a laugh?
    See if you can get an interview based on a made up CV.....

    If you're bored then turn up for the interview too and then go oops wrong person....

    It's the only thing on my CV that matches any of his search criteria.

    It's almost as funny as being offered jobs in Western Super Mare because it's "only 30 miles away".

    Maybe it is if you're a seagull.
    You could always work from Steep Holm on wifi then it's only 15

    Phone the muppet and ask if he's an agent, when he says yes, put the phone down.

    Now spend 6 months calling him and sending random emails asking him to send you details about semi detached houses in Barnstaple or all inclusive holidays in Beirut.



    Doesn't Andy Hallett work for S3? Perhaps you should copy him in

    I got a few emails that kept coming for an accounts assistant in wales. Not even close - I dont have any accounts skills even IT related.

    It came from the accountancy division of an IT agency that I'd spoken to a few months ago. So obviously my CV was spammed around the whole group.

    Obviously, the DB search and subsequent spam email was based solely on location. Are they that desperate to just spam everyone in the region just in case they're skills match?

    WTF is wrong with these people?
    Its easier to annoy you than do their job properly, unfortunately idiots are everywhere.

    Perhaps you could add a recommendation for his LinkedIn profile

    " Richard is great fun, his emails for jobs that are:
    • Not my field
    • Not my location
    • Not my rate
    • Choc full of spelling mistakes


    Keep me amused for hours.
    Very kind of him too, as he works in the Engineering Permanent Division and I am a contractor"

    Sorry, no photos, but when I worked there a few years back, it was quite a nice environment to be in.

    This one's in Newport, apparently, and requires knowledge of sheet metal.

    Send it to Diver instead

    Do you need the ability to chop your own hands off?
