Job application forms

 

Bloody tedious things to fill in. What the hell have my hobbies got to do with my job application?

 

Recently one asked for my hobbies so I told them that I was into extreme ironing and collecting zips.

 

Strangely I didn't get an interview (or the courtesy of an acknowledgement).

Well Big mouth, seems to me you have a problem with employers which I can only applaud.

 

Side issue....I once saw an application form filled in by a young lad. On the bit where he had to fill in his reason for leaving his last job he had written "now more work"......always wondered if he meant it.
