It's a shitshow quite frankly and it feels really degrading, so be prepared to test the limits of your mental fortitude. Unfortunately, it really is a case of apply to as many places as possible, get ghosted by 90+% of them until you eventually get something. Be prepared for it to take a while. My friend has been looking for over a year now, and it is just brutal. Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure, but worth knowing now before you go in.

    Ah mate it does my fucking head in.

    Upload the CV and then fill out a form with pretty much the same info on the CV.

    I use Glassdoor for applying jobs in the down season - I work building bars at festivals in the UK so most of the new work I bag is word of mouth, and usually March - Sept.

    During the off, I just use Glassdoor and the 'quick apply' option.

    Bearing in mind this is glassdoor.es so I'm not sure if the UK one has a different format? 

    Depends on your field as well

    They seem to want both. Application form so they can filter you, then a CV for the interviewer to have Infront of them in the interview(s)

    Doing the work to update your CV means you can mostly copy/paste segments into the forms though.

    (Knowledge more from tech job hunting - unsure about other industries)

    Also how stunning was Charlie Dimmock. God I had such a crush on her. Something about that cheery confidence, fiery mane, and refusal to conform to soceity's standards.

    What man, woman, or vegetable could tame her fiery spirit?

    Getting excited for the move to Weymouth next month. Last time I was in town an old guy told me to knock on his door if my wife gets the job, I hope he hasn't forgotten. Anyone in the Dorset area who would take a pint from an American? Hit me up, I'm friendly as fuck.

    Just some friendly advice: Consider changing your card's bank's password.

    Years ago I had my Barclaycard account compromised, someone disabled paper statements, changed my password and bought loads of toys.

    I pay my card manually monthly and couldn't log in (I use keepass, so I knew it was the correct password)... phoned Barclaycard and got transferrd to their fraud dept. they asked a few questions to verify me and then were really good and going back through all the stuff I'd not bought.

    As they'd obviously gained access to my account details, not just cloning the card, I changed all my banking passwords and put alerts on transactions larger than I normally spend.

    We have 2FA nowadays, but still, I don't trust the website security and I definitely don't use banking apps.

    Yeah. All sorted thankfully.

    Scary they got through without you authorising though.

    I've found:

    Nationwide (bank not credit) trigger happy on blocking card which can be a pain sometimes buy saved me this time.

    My asda credit card I've been caught before and had to claim it back which wasn't fun and lots of hoops to jump through.

    I'd tell you how my marks and spencers credit card was buy I don't use the bloody thing. The android app refuses to run as I have a FOSS keyboard so never bothered to even put the thing in my wallet and register it.

    Ah damn, hopefully they refunded you the transactions? I spotted two dodgy transactions on my credit card and had to raise it with my bank. Luckily I got the money back but it's concerning that they got through at all, without me having to authorise the transactions!

    Suspicious activity on my bank card at 2am (while I was asleep) and I noticed all the messages from the bank after I got up and was already on the way to the hospital for a (planned) xray.

    Sorting this crap out now but later setting up a pi hole so that should be fun at least!

    I'd like to have my Monday off as a gaming day but ho hum

    You are bloody unlucky to have 3 tyre punctures in the last little while! In 20 years of driving, I've had 3 punctures. Are you purposefully driving over sharp gravel or am I particularly lucky?!?
