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.

Link?

That's what they look like, I had them made cause I had heaps of CF and carbon wrap looked shit house on my naca vent so had them made up as no-one is selling them for 7s

After I sold my evo few evoOz guys wanted them so had a few made up for them through my supplier. Currently only person selling them in Aus

Constant reminder of the regret my mates and I felt when we didn't try grape flavour when we saw it in a vending machine in Osaka... Thought we'd see it again later... little did we know, twas not to be :(

eww... i'll just have a crab juice

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

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
