    Just reading through a job spec I've been sent by a recruiter and got to this line;

    Quote:

    • Possess excellent communication skills, with an emphasis on verbal and written skills

    An emphasis on verbal and written communication skills. As opposed to what? Mime? Interpretive dance? Semaphore?

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

    Some people are bad at non-verbal and non-written; in particular the eye contact part*. * especially with the opposite gender :-)

            Ties. Apparently they have meaning. It's Serious Business for many manager-type people, the only type of people that have time to worry about tie-astrology.

              I'm not sure that would be a great opening line should I get an interview.

                I would turn down a job offer if they required me to wear a tie every day. Pointless bloody disease ridden strips of cloth. Only purpose to they serve is to remind you of meals you once had.

                              That would be a tad naff, I always prefer to wear a pith helmet if I need to be extra smart.

                                        To live, work or visit? Small 1 High street Town. Just off Portsea Island but probably still classed as Portsmouth by most. Reasonably nice area/houses in East Cosham, slums in West Cosham (Paulsgrove) where they had the Paedophille riots 10 years back.
