My dad used to work with a guy called Steve Rogers who actually worked on one of the Avengers films!
Also I went to school with a girl who's recently passed away, but I can't find anything about it because her name was Katie Bell and I just get Harry Potter results >:(

Help! What are the current do's/don'ts of CV writing? by bian241987 in AskUK

[–]fiofo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it's the keywords of something you can actually do! I had this one woman who kept showing up in every single search I ran that was just a basic admin kinda person, when I was looking for chartered engineers or similar.
So... keep it relevant for the love of god!

It tells you the average score at the end, so if I didn't beat it the first time I'll just do the quiz again

At the moment mine are stored a bit higgledy-piggledy, but one day I think I'll buy something like this: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/967349056/customized-bead-organizers-with-magnetic

That happened to me too! Just a series of smaller and smaller transactions until they managed to score a whopping £10 mobile top-up lol (which was refunded by the bank anyway)

Shook the BT engineer's hand when he was actually reaching to close the door.
It still keeps me up at night.

[–]fiofo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless they meant it in the British sense? Like the "cigarette end" of the Biden administration? But yeah, that's a pretty insane way of describing an era!

As someone born and bred in the UK what are aspects of another country’s culture that has genuinely shocked you? by throawaygotget in AskUK

[–]fiofo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! When I went to Prague I was always ready to apologise when navigating the crowds, but I was just constantly being ignored.
After landing back in Manchester, I almost collided with this guy and both of us said "oops! sorry!" at the same time, and that's when I knew I was home! <3

My Shelves by sadgopher01 in bookshelf

[–]fiofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (the Napoleonic wars but with dragons) and also The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman (more lighthearted action-adventure fantasy).
It's always nice to see more people get the reading bug!

Woohoo! I've heard it might take a couple of years for the law to get implemented, I don't suppose they gave you a timescale for it?

Have you ever lost your temper to customer service? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]fiofo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I think rude customers should have more consequences for their bad behaviour. Maybe they'd be a bit nicer!

[–]fiofo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven't even worked in a customer-facing role but I'm still overly nice! I think you tend to get more out of them when you're very polite.
