So, I have finally remembered to update my CV. At last. I want to upload it to the Universal Jobmatch website. The problem is I need to think up a title for it. They advise using my skills or something as a title. The problem is I have no skills that I am aware of. Of course I think this right now because I’m going through a really low phase again, but that’s not the point. So far the best idea I can come up with is ‘Desperate, will do anything for money’, but I can’t put that. And of course I’m not remotely serious about putting that. But it’s how I’m beginning to feel. I have to sign on again tomorrow. Again I have to give a list of random jobs I’ve applied for with absolutely no hope of success. I’m not flexible enough. I don’t drive. I don’t have the relevant experience. At least anyone having a CV lobbed at them now will know I’m currently volunteering at one of my local charity shops. I have a recent reference now. Woohoo. But this CV title thing? I’ve been trying to come up with something all evening. I am so crap at selling myself. Grrr. I wonder if just putting down ‘Waitress’ would do. It doesn’t really do much in the way of letting anyone know about my non-existent skills. And I’ve been advised to downplay the whole having a degree thing given the type of menial jobs I’m looking for. It’s something I am proud of though, even if I probably won’t ever use it. Hooray for the benefits trap.
So, if anyone comes across a CV titled ‘Desperate, will do anything for money’, it just might be me out there.
