Job Specifications

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.

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 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.

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

What if they allow these ones? ;)

You're probably tying the knot too tight.
OT - What is Cosham like? I know it's down your way so I thought I'd ask you.

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

Especially to meetings. Then you can remove it to indicate that you are pithed off. :laugh:

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.

Maybe work and if it looks good then move towards the area. I've looked and rightmove and, compared to Woking, property is very cheap, maybe as much as half what we'd pay here!

Last time I wore a black cloak, I also carried around about 30+ kg of chainmail, padding a helmet, a sword and a shield. Is that enough for your weak nerves? :-)
