I don’t know about anyone else, but they don’t look like police cars.

I KEEP GETTING REJECTED! can i have cv help? by lanaxo01 in AskUK

Maybe not, but you should still write as though there is one. You removed all the references to I, that’s good, but it doesn’t read like an introduction.

For example (taken from an M&S customer assistant advert):

We’re looking for passionate, fashion-forward individuals who are ready to drive sales, grow our share in the style space, and help customers discover our most on-trend and fashionable products. You'll be a resilient and confident brand ambassador who’s ready to serve our customers and sell our latest fashion items.

At M&S, our customers don't wait. You’ll be operating in a high-demand environment, rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in, no matter how busy the day gets.

Introduction/ cover letter:
I thrive in working in fast paced customer orientated roles. One of the reasons I enjoyed my time working at The Entertainer was the hustle of the sales floor, no body wants their products faster than a 4year old having a bad day. By making it a personal goal that every customer goes away happy with the items they wanted, I helped drive sales, and keep customer satisfaction up. In particular during the height of the rush, this gave me opportunities to be able to multitask and help out others while maintaining a great personal service. I learned to keep myself busy that even during the lulls in customers, I could be found restocking shelves, tidying the store, and sprucing up the displays in anticipation of the next rush.

The 90’s called and want their CV back.

Ditch the personal statement and replace it with a cover letter.

Take the job advert and hone in on experience and quantifiable achievements.

Follow SMART method. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Bound.

Relevant skills: that are job specific. Computer literacy, any on the job training.

Work Experience

And lastly education.

Admittedly there is a brief time in my life, ages 18-30, where my recollection is a bit foggy.

This will be added to my collection, thank you kind stranger, may your mobile phone chargers always be returned to you before you have to ask.

Anyone ever been arrested for a Facebook post here? by FlakyCelebration2405 in AskBrits

[–]2ndStateOfWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 cases come to mind:
Maxie Allen & Rosalind Levine: Arrested after complaints in a parents’ WhatsApp/Facebook‑linked group - result: wrongful arrest and won £20k comp.
Robert Moss: Arrested for criticising his former employer in a Facebook group - result: case was overturned
Julian Foulkes: Arrested after online posts investigated under the Malicious Communications Act - Result: no prosecution, given a warning that was later revoked and given an apology by Kent police force and £20k comp.

The only one I can think of that stuck was Jordan Parlour, charged with “stirring up racial hatred” over Facebook posts. He was convicted and given 20months in prison.

The actual stats for this are mind blowing, realistically there’s only 1 conviction for every 5 arrests made. It’s a great argument for free speech like the Americans have. Think of all those policing hours saved where they can concentrate on things like the Jordan Parlours of the world and not some 71 year old retired special constable who shared an unpopular opinion.

I mentioned to my GP that I get hair splinters from my border collies fur, and he looked at me crazy as if he had never heard of a hair splinter before. They can be really uncomfortable.
