Phrase it how you wish. The fact remains that you are out of work, and

The actual causes are important; it's more than just "phrasing."

Since you snipped the text in question, I decline to discuss it
further.

Not at all - I'm suggesting that you do what you can to find out what
vacancies exist, rather than relying on advertisements in 20", or
whatever.

It's not so much a problem of vacancies as a problem of my
applications being rejected.

If you applied to the job for which you are perfectly qualified, your
chance of rejection would be less. Your chance of finding such a
vacancy, particularly an unadvertised vacancy, are increased if you
network.

It's not rocket science.

Not a question of cheating.

It sure sounds like it. "It's not what you know, but whom you know"
sounds pretty dishonest to me.

Did I say that? You need to read more carefully.

A reader can readily judge if your reaction is rational or not.

I don't see the relevance of this.

What you see is not important.

I'm saying that because it is true. Angry young males remain angry
even when there is no discernable reason to be so. They are their own
worst enemies.

You aggravate everyone, not just angry young males.

Oh, bloody hell, you know very well what I meant by "subject", that is
the translation of French "sujet".

No, I don't.

Don't you have a dictionary?

He doesn't need one.

So let's be back to your comments: how exactly are the French exams
archaic?

By having some sort of mysterious "sujet" that must be kept top
secret.

How exactly is that archaic ?

Doesn't it strike you as pure logic that the questions and problems of
an exam must be kept secret until the very scheduled beginning hour?

No, it wouldn't.

If you have six hours to write a philosophy essay, that is six hours.
Not a month at home.

So?

I'd really like to know how is that archaic. I wonder if there is even a
place where written exams and competitions are not happening that way.
But I have a feeling you won't answer.

Not any answer of substance!

They have to be filtered out somehow.

Tim are you really saying you have hired people in real time at the
conclusion of their job interview? Don't you check their references?
Don't you hold a series of interviews and only extend a job offer
when
all the candidates have been interviewed?

It's not uncommon in the UK for someone to be hired before references
are checked. It's happened to my partner twice. Worst case scenario is
that you could be fired if they don't check out. TTTT, it's probably
the
case that some references are never checked. I've been asked by people
to be their referees, and have never been contacted, even when they got
the job!

That has happened to me enough times to consider references almost
worthless.

Likewise. In the UK, I think I've had references checked once in the
course of being offered, and taking up, a half-dozen jobs.

And, although I am/was named as a referee on many people's CVs, the only
one whose prospective employers have regularly contacted me was a guy
doing temp secretarial work.

It's a book, not a short story.

I couldn't remember if that particular one was a whole book or not, it was
a long time ago.

Never understood why people would get married in there,
when it's so simple to reproduce in the Brave New World style...

I won't say anything

You earn respect in my books, and then I will be tolerant.

I don't understand why you guys waste your time with this idiot.

The same reason I waste time in this place.
