you know, when some company has formatted the form REALLY FUCKING STUPIDLY and so whenever you start filling it in, everything goes EVERYWHERE and no matter what you do, it won't fit, and their stupid lines that they made to make a table INSTEAD OF INSERTING A TABLE fuck everything up massively?
yeah i fucking hate them.
advice please?
Print it out, write on it, scan it in?
send in a letter saying,
"i can fix your shit appliction form"
immeadiate interview
Especially if applying to be a proof-reader
print it out and fill it by hand
otherwise you'll be a bumbling wreck by 4 o'clock.

they've done it badly though, so
you can't fit anything in, even if i wrote it!
I'M GOING TO GO MENTAL
Get a job.
write your answers in notepad
then copy and paste them in.
i was going mental with the form i had to fill in the other week. I think Word has caused me more stress than any other piece of computer software ever. even having to fight that fucking disco-ball puddle monster a billion times on Devil May Cry.
word is such a stupid irrational programme
they should really have sorted it out by now
i have all my answers :(
it's just highly retardedly formatted. argh.
you think that's bad
I've got a William Hill application form asking me to write about;
"Dealing with a difficult situation you've faced"
Like what?
Choosing the right pickups for my guitar?
Asking if someone has had any previous STD's??
I'm not quite sure what I'm suppsoed to convey to them.. AT ALL.
tell them you're an expert in removing slobbering, stench-ridden and
inoxicated gambling addicts from the fronts of bandit machines with only 30 seconds to go until the store closes. BOOM
the prospects are looking slightly dimmer now
... Seriously though I have no idea what to write. They've replaced the clichéd 'Skill and Attributes' section with this..
Maybe I could mention I was the victim of an unprovoked attack in pub where I was kneed (sic?) in the head then headbutted but because of my excellent diplomatic skills I reacted in a calm and controlled manner. (Albeit shitting myself a bit)That might be worth mentioning.
that could work to yr advantage, somehow
OK SO
for example.
it's pretty clear that whoever made this didn't know how to insert tables.
and so used the 'draw' function or whatever, to make lines to make tables.
which means that if you use more space than initially laid out, it doesn't adjust like a real table would. it just stays the same. AND IS FUCKING STUPID
just
keep it looking the same, but lay it out properly yourself.
for the job I have now
I had to redo the application form when I sent it in as it was doing my nut, as it had all the same problems as you've said. Just make sure it's in the same order and doesn't look like you've been a know-it-all about it.
I promised myself I would change it when I got here......haven't quite got around to it yeah.
chin chin.
