CV, Funny, Jobs in Ireland, job hunting
The CV Graveyard……..(or why your job applications go unanswered)
There’s a little place in the office of every hiring manager and HR person. It is a cold and dark place. An eerie place filled with shadows. A place swarming with the ghosts and spirits of missed “dream job” opportunities. A kind of job purgatory if you will. In effect it is actually a CV graveyard, needing only 1 excuse to lure its CV prey. In applying for a job you must avoid this place with all your might, and to aid you in your quest (or odyssey!) I have outlined a few of the lures and weapons the graveyard has in its arsenal. Beware…….
- The format trap - always save your CV as a generic and compatible file format. To be safe go with a .doc (note: avoid .docx as they are not always compatible with earlier versions of Word). The last thing you want is to submit your prized CV that you have slaved over making it perfect - only for it to be trapped by the graveyard because it is inaccessible.

Swedetastic!!
Ok, so Be Kind Rewind is not the greatest film ever made - granted. However, like any good idea badly executed - it is still a good idea. This one in particular has spawned a whole subculture of “sweders” (”swedites?”). People dedicated to giving us their low (no) budget take on film classics. Cinematographic genius!

Warning: plays annoying, repetitive and loud music. About 2 minutes of sheer entertainment!

Yes, but what about the Star Wars Duct Tape?
03.12.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsPretty much everybody wishes that they made toys for a living, so getting paid to come up with as many Star Wars products as possible is unquantifiably cool. It happened to this guy, though, and I have no idea what stuff they ultimately made, but the rejected products are pretty awesome: I loved the Spaceballs-reminicent headphones, and the Jabba the Hut stress squishie.
Reminiscing about Star Wars parodies reminded me of my favorite, Hardware Wars. Starring Cookie Monster’s Wookie colored brother, I saw it as a short before a John Waters film in high school and loved it. It’s the best kind of silliness- check part 1 and 2 on YouTube.

ribs ‘n’ dick
Stumbled across a highly informative site this morning. Gave me about 5 minutes of entertainment and several times tickled my childish humour bone. So if you are wondering what a full-on honkey handshake is or if you are sick of whacking-a-mole and would like to know whether it is your chips or your salsa thats causing the problem -then gear up your fatpipe and check it out. Unless you have ribs ‘n’ dick to do it with. I know, I know, sounds like a cluster funk to me.

The Worst IT Jobs?
Just came across an InfoWorld article about the 7 Dirtiest Jobs in IT. I was hoping for jobs that involved actual dirt (Pig Farming Analyst? Refuse Management Application Developer?), but except for #1 it was mainly just unpleasant jobs. Here’s the list:
7: Legacy systems archaeologist (COBOL Developer)4: Interdepartmental peace negotiator (IT Project Manager)
