    Looking online for a little jeb. Asking an audience of drunks and stoned people.
    If anyone has anything genuine it'll be illegal and whats more we'll have forgotten about it when we get straight after the weekend.

    You job hunting skills can only improve from this first attempt.

    1) Don't call it a jeb. Ever
    2) Don't photocopy a CV, print it out properly
    3) Either send it via email with a good cover letter or call in in person, dressed neatly, and drop it in with a good cover letter.
    4) Do not have a CV over 2 pages
    5) Spellcheck, spellcheck, spellcheck
    6) It is impossible to be dressed too smartly for an interview. Even if it's for stacking shelves in Tesco wear a shirt and tie.

    Come back to me when your unemployed about 4 years straight, but constantly jobhunting in one way or another, and the only interviews you get are for commission only jobs and the like!

    Plus youve been and done your college/s, had a job and lots of work expereince and all your looking for is a full time job paying at least minimum wage!! :rolleyes:

    1. Grow up a bit.
    2. Present yourself better than coming across as a drunk at 4.01 in the morning. This implies no discipline with yourself, potentially an addictive personality and too risky to employ.
    3. Post in a more articulate manner on a forum more relevant to seeking work where people do genuinely make an effort to present themselves well.
    4. I don't believe you.
    5. If you are genuine you would regret your post when you wake up hungover this afternoon.

    No.
    Your username is "Kermit de Frog".

    Point?:confused: It's a little better than "128128128"

    He says he is looking for work. He asked for suggestions.

    Point being, your username is not appropriate appropriate in a serious, professional context.

    Nothing in AH happens in a serious, professional context.

    You're taking this too seriously. Just my opinion. Who knows? Maybe the OP places great store in the online opinions of someone calling themselves after a muppet.

    The OP clearly is not a professional.

    He asked for advice, I gave it to him. Don't see what the issue is.

    set yourself up as a local odd-job person op. People always have stuff they need done around the house.. painting, power washing, window cleaning. You could get busy with referrals... it would keep you going until something more substantial comes up.

    I think it's borne out of the way Enda Kenny pronounces it or something like that.
