In today's job market you've really got to make your CV stand out of the pile.
This means spending hours tweaking the format, the font, the content, the 'slight exaggerations,' and agonising over the size of bullet points.
Or, for one man at least, it means composing a paragraph of straight-talking, no-nonsense.... nonsense.
Andrew Bloch, Managing Director of a London PR firm posted an extract of one of the more interesting CVs you'll ever read to Twitter today.
In it, the applicant describes himself as "everything in one man," "a right ladies man" and claims he can "talk the talk and do the work" - all while showing a flagrant disregard for correct spelling and grammar.
It's yet unclear whether this man, who's application includes "no lying or pretence," made it to the interview stage.
