It's not rocket science-or is it? Karl,

The laughter or cries from your office after browsing the various emails, CV or scraps of paper that were sent for your attention. Having said that, now I am in the same position, its amazing what people perceive as 'acceptable'!

Some of the applications I get make me wonder why I should bother with a reply. Miles Ladies,

The schools have got to cover this subject properly in fact I think kids should be instructed how to put together a CV during ICT lessons. Careers info was readily available in the sixth form as I recollect but do leavers in year 11 get the right help I wonder? Cid Mile,

I thought that this is what schooling is all about. If they already fail at this basic hurdle I shudder to think about their future lives and indeed the future of this country. Well done for bringing this to the attention of others. Elsie Miles,
