    It can difficult to stay sane when fighting some shitty website. It often takes me a few hours on the really bad ones so I can be sure that their crap system isn't negatively impacting how I look.

    I rewrote my cv yesterday for the first time in 2 years. That was not fun. That being said, I do enjoy job interviews, as somehow I became really good at them a couple of years back, after I spent a month having to convince agencies I was worth the hassle

    Go for broke. Begin your personal statement by claiming to have invented swans or something, then make passing references to the trial you had for West Ham (but then you picked up an injury - at this point make a 'funny old world innit?' face) and the time you saved Huw Edwards from drowning.

    I was so close to buying Bad Science again (for the Kindle).

    Edit: And now I'm reading The God Delusion. Well, thanks D&D, I guess.

    Well, the West Ham and Huw Edwards stories can't be disproved easily, and you can substitute something else for the invention of swans. Claim to have come up with the idea for Angry Birds on a drunken night out with your mate Gary, but he stole it and made millions. Again, pull a phlegmatic face at this point to show you're the bigger man/woman.

    I generally open with: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you hire me now now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    I was assuming that they took you at face value and required an in depth description of the invention of swans.

    That explains where I've been going wrong.

    A friend of mine actually started his "techniques" thesis chapter with that quote.
