Update: Please drop by for the meeting: http://puffandpass.co.za/chat/discussion/24/meeting-1st-may-2012-1300-1445

Hi,

Hmmm… been thinking. A lot…

Here is a thing: I started this site for many reasons and the one that still eats me inside and irks me at the same time is the job application process! It appears to be the most difficult thing to some people or just maybe some don’t know how to do it (professionally) or just don’t care!

I say ” or just don’t care” because of things like this :  <name withheld>CV.doc(call centre agent ,nedbank graduate programmes,saa internships 2012 ,data capturer,fnb :tellers reguired). Sorry for using you as an example…

The above is a title of an email from someone who in his/her mind was applying for all the positions listed inside the brackets. Mind you that was a response to one of the daily updates. Got something in the inbox one day and decided to go boom! And that is not good. Whatever happened to READING something over and over to make sure you understand it 100%?

For those of you who don’t know, I get hundreds of emails from the Feedback Page. Not a bad thing! But sometimes ….

So, how about we have a meeting to share ideas about applying for jobs? The 1st of May is a public holiday for most. So, we can all go to the chatroom and talk! What do you think?
