So our commercial Director is a Mag apparently. There's pics of him circulating round the internet at SJP
Of no importance whatsoever who he supports. You don't write who your support on your CV and the best person gets the job. I imagine there will be others who work for us and support them and vice versa.
Dunno mate, I've seen a few on my desk over the years who seem to think 'Watching United/City' is a relevant skill. I also read one, last week, that had the word 'Banter' in his CV 8 (EIGHT) times.
I very much doubt he has anything to do with on field matters and transfers. Commercial Director sound like marketing and all that bollocks.
He could be in the KKK for all I care. So long as he does it in private. He works in football so shouldn't be quite so thick, or naive.
I remember Tash saying he got rejected at an interview with the NHS for saying he 'bleeds black and white'. Haha.
Newcastle had a commercial director called Graham McDonald a few years ago..he was red and white through and through...he worked at Sunderland as well
We were recruiting for a couple of junior buyers, so we don't necessarily need mountains of experience, just a witty, confident persona, so you can sort of tell where it come from but still, have a word pal.
It's amazing mate, what some people put in CV's. There was one lad, Indian who wrote (because a driving license is a condition of employment) "I can drive, I love to drive, but I'm driven if you catch my drift". Yes mate, I catch your drift, it was hardly ****ing cryptic.
CV's that list generic literacy skills as a personal quality are good ones - especially when the CV is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. I saw one when I used to work in hospitality that said they could make good cups of tea/coffee (16 year old's need to beef their CV out with something, don't they?). Needless to say they got a job.
"Proficient in Microsoft Word", the most common words in all of CV history. I remember somebody telling me they had advanced Excel skills on their CV and I asked them, during interview to do a simple pivot of some data, they looked at me as if I asked them to assemble The Large Hadron Collider.
The Microsoft Word one is a good'n because of the built in spelling & grammar checker - they clearly ignore those red and green lines highlighting that they are obviously not proficient in MW.
I thort that the red and the grean were just decorashun so I leav them in their becoz they look pritty
Speaking of spell checker, I occasionally read student dissertations and it is none the wonder that American English is taking over. Mature students just go ahead and change spelling regardless of the traditional spelling.
As of yesterday I am officially a word expert and a Microsoft office specialist 2010 master! Cents and All sorts. But I'm also proficient in Ms word!
