    Depends on what type of job you are after..
    Political / senior pen pushing job...most definitely mention it..

    Get someone to proof read it before you send it anywhere.

    If you do get an interview you will be asked so you may as well put it in. It should not matter so much, a lot of degree courses have a high first year drop out rate.

    If you are writing a CV, make sure to include a section on how many times you fap per day. Essential info for potential employers

    Other good things to include are your favorite planet (don't pick Jupiter) as well as any recurring dreams you might have.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Ya sure throw it down as having spent a year at wherever. Don't elaborate any further on the written CV, when they ask about it in the interview just say it wasn't for you and you wanted a change.

    place particular emphasis on what you like to shove up your arse during ****

    Stick it on it, doesnt look as lazy as doing nothing for a year.

    I wouldn't put it on yor CV, it's never good to flaunt failure.
    You might be better with a small lie - put down you were in prison for the year.

    If you're looking for serious answers post in the work and jobs forum.

    If you want this thread moved let me know.

    If I were you I wouldn't put it in. It is not in any way relevant to the job you are applying for.
    Just big up any vaguely relevant experience you have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,583 ✭✭✭mconigol


    Put it on, just the facts, where you went, dates etc...no need to explain.

    You should definitely have it on there but, no offence, if you said that in an interview to me I would think you're a quitter.
