Most CV's are puffed with bollocks. A group could cut these down to a standard form, stripping out any superflous waffle.

what if you need to be good at superflous waffle to get the job? I can't think of any but I'm sure there must be some?

There are companies out there who will take your money to do this for you...see link.

Here's a quote from that site:

"I'm sorry to write you such a long letter - I had no time to write a short one."

Ask a friend to check your CV, they are disinterested too...

We had a CV at my office where the person trying for the job claimed to be "Well spoken and articulated".

One way to moderate CVs would be to mount vibration-sensitive transducers near where the CVs are in the axle paths. An increase in vibration likely would indicate that a failure, or change in performance is underway. To moderate this you could have the signals displayed on oscilloscopes and other fancy monitoring equipment mounted in the back seat and invite friends to watch them intently, and give you brief, synthesized responses, including their opinions as to the amont of time until next CV failure--thus moderating the whole affair.

Or use Birfield-Rzeppa CVs, which are inherently moderated.

Birfield-Rzeppa CVs? What are they?
-- dare99, Jan 16 2002


Why, it's a Hardy Spicer, of course... Dolomite.
-- thumbwax, Jan 16 2002


Spicer? I thought those were only for trucks, at least the ones from Dana/GKN. They do transaxle assemblies as well especially for the old Kenworths.
