For me being a MTB guide would be terrible, going to the airport every week, fixing lazy sods' bikes, having to ride slowly for some fat git, etc etc. Riding with a bunch of guests is hardly like riding with your mates is it?
I disagree, I've been guiding for 4 years now and I love every minute of it. Riding with different people every week is what keeps it interesting and stops it from getting repetitive.
I love hooning with good riders (which is pretty much like riding with your mates) and at the same time I love riding with slower riders, taking my time, doing some coaching, getting people out there doing new stuff. Brilliant!
My ideal job described on here would see me receive an instant ban.
Pretty much the same as I do already, but with more and bigger, possibly even take the leap to self-employed, but like the lack of responsibility of being employed currently.
And a lottery win to fund a desire for shiny things.
Macavity - I've applied twice to Triumph for the design engineering role in the last three years, I really want to work there. The first time I got through to the second round of interviews, the second time they didn't even interview me once. Any ideas how I get my foot in the door? The feedback from my first application was really positive.
Journalism is a nice way to earn a living, but I'd jack it all in tomorrow if the right boob-related opportunity came up.
Not writing for Zoo or Nuts though, I know people who do that and I don't really think I'd be cut out for it.
I'd like to play me in the movie of my life. that way i'd get to do all the really cool stuff over again and lie about or igore the less cool and just embarrasing stuff
..but i'd only some of my own stunts - some of the shit really hurt
No seriously, I really enjoy discussing ideas with others;
what like "are you sure you want fries with that?"
edd,
unfortunately I would really just be guessing.
But the "Evidence of job stability" does say quite a bit and the fact that you say that they have advertised the job before (more than once) does suggest that they have had people come (take time to get up to speed, learn the job) and go (elsewhere for more money, dont like the place who knows?).
Persistance can pay off.
The interview does rely on you being able to convince them that not only are you the one for the job (that you can do it) but that (if you do not already live locally that you will move) you will STAY a few years.
Other than that I can only really guess.
Sometimes (CVs do not get beyond the personnel department) so a phonecall to the Production Manager / Design Manager can lead to something, or send application / CV direct to Prod / Design Manager (get their names and spell them correctly etc).
Other than that its have a look at some interview technique type books: Patrick Quinn , When Do I Start? is a bit dated but gives you some things to consider.
professional footballer at the very top!
Playing in the current Barca team would be pretty sensational!
I could be the manager of Blackburn. No qualifications needed judging by the owners' decisions of late.
being a surgeon and using my skills to correct the huge number of horrendous physical deformities that many in the 3rd world struggle with on a daily basis without hope(as well as all their other problems.)
Thanks Macavity
