You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Feel so fake writing my CV. Keep tempting myself to be completely open/honest and throw in a bunch of swear words about the pricks at previous jobs or how shit the work was etc.

I had a lecture at uni a few weeks ago where the guest lecturer told us that in this day and age, we shouldn't need a resume to get a job. Appartantly it should all be done by word of mouth and "head hunting". But I had a job interview at ExxonMobil not long ago where I had to bring a resume.. I guess I failed that guest lecturer.

Well people use shit like "LinkedIn" these days, which is basically an online CV...only with even more bullshit and a photo...but ads on Seek still want a CV and cover letter emailed to them, so nuts to your guest lecturer. He doesn't account for people quitting their job or starting out fresh...hard to get headhunted when you're not working in the environment. Word of mouth can be pretty powerful though, if you're networked well enough.

Headhunting is particularly useful in the world of large corporations, where promotions (role promotions) are practically non-existent and it's in the company's best interests for an employee to stay just where they are / give the occasional salary revision. It is quite common in industries where there is a lot of outsourcing between companies (e.g. IT), creating opportunities to meet. Very appealing to the employee with not much in the way of a bottom-to-top career path ahead of them within the same company.

Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly...

I see where thi is going.

entry level jobs you need a resume end of story.

they want to see you ahd a part time job your turned up to, or a degree you did.

past that.....

well you still need a resume.

but it is becoming a case of don't call us we will call you.

I check my linked in profile maybe every 4 weeks or so, and it is full or "consulting" or HR companies.

they get a job description then head out and look for some-one.

then due to the fact I was lazy and left no number they call the company main switch and start harassing them to find me.

but every one of them asks me to send a current resume in.

I can't stand the website. I've been advised to create a profile, which I'll probably do one day...because it seems to be the way the world is heading...but people make themselves sound like superheroes working for bluechip companies, when they're really just a glorified PA...

I've got a linked in profile, pretty much look like a fool if you don't in the i.t world, my old employer actually made the whole team make a profile and got a professional shoot done for faces on the company website :\ new employer said they checked it out, amongst other things like facebook etc.. gotta be careful what you put on the web.

It's a good way to show experience that you cant fit on CV though, also the photo part is okay I guess so they know you aren't a pleb.

changed my mind... gonna get a Vii

eotd an 8 wont give me anything that i really need, but will be nearly 10k more.

it's just not worth it for 5kw and a 6 spd gearbox

i'm not planning to massively track it, maybe a couple days a year tops.... it's just my idea of a baby freindly daily so the 5 spd should do me

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
