    Bulltulip Rejection Reason

    Apparently my CV 'is not up to date'.

    There is a ten year history on there ending in December. From Jan i've been job hunting.

    Seriously WTF!

    I'm betting your CV is too long and too wordy.

    Only the last few years matters in detail, the rest should be summarised in a couple of lines.

      Fill up with some bulltulip about designing back office systems for an imaginary family business. It’s just so that some junior trainee agent can fill in the forms and claim she’s done the ISO9001 checks.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              And hope that the client doesn't insist on a reference.

                That's bloody easy though, as long as you have some writing paper from some imagined company.

                  In these cases I've said the company for legal reasons does not issue references for contract workers.
