But seriuZ ffs, hope you find what you're looking for. I'm slogging out the long hard (lolz) search as we speak. Whilst at work. Because I just don't play by the rules man.

Right then CV is filled out, took bits from everyone and I'm quite pleased with it.

Only question I have is, I'm going to put in why I want this job but as I'm moving from my own company to working for someone I am struggling what to write, the real reason is its less stress and 40 hours a week paid every Friday.

So how do I write this in a good way?

Do some research on the company like where and when it first started trading, who the owners are, where they operate etc so you can kiss some serious arse.

"I have been working self employed but work has become less stable in recent months so i made the desisicion to seek employment within an established company such as yours, i have read that since the company was started in 1976 by Mr Murray that he has been keen to ensure the safety of all his work staff in return for their loyalty and commitment to the firm, to me this is ideal and exactly what i want to gain from being employed by such a reputable company...."

I'm quite good at the whole job searching business seeing as i've had more time looking for jobs then working since i left school, i was on a course recently about job searching techniques just to see if there was any info i could gain, as part of the course i had to do a mock interview with an actual employer for Morrison (construction firm) who asked me "Why do you want to work for Morrison PLC" I went on a rant about talking to their work staff, speaking to customers and then went on to talk about why i think i would fit in with the standards the company expects. The bloke interviewing goes "ah well you've clearly done your research before the interview, did you have a quick look online last night to find that out?" i told him i didn't know **** all about his company and was just talking pure **** of the top of my head and he found it hilarious and just burst out laughing saying i had him convinced.
