If it's different, you need to see a job or person specification. Then you can have fun with all the vital bits they've left out.

First question: do you actually want your job? If yes then lie about what you do. If no you will be looking for another and you will need to lie about what you did. Either way you will need to lie or you will end up having to actually work for a living. Don't be afraid of lying in order to progress your career, it will mark you as ideal management material and give you immense satisfaction every pay day. Second question: I know you are a bit young but can you afford to retire? If you can. do it. If you can't, use your new found management skills to fill the time until you can. -- steve auvache

CV layouts depend on a lot of things, most of it the personal preference of the person reading it. Ask to see your managers CV, and use that for a model :-) > > Of course, if I'm going to all this effort, I might as well look for a > good job while I'm at it.

Find something you do enjoy and chuckle when they pay you for it. One of the great things I learned recently in Spain is the Spanish word for "retired." Jubilado. It comes from the same root as jubilant. It sounds so much better than retired, or pensioner. And as a recent jubilado, I can tell you it really does feel jubilant. |
