Q: The job spec goes on for miles – 840 words and 22 bullet points. I don’t even know where to start. A lot of it is waffle in my opinion but I have read what you have written consistently about meeting the job spec with your CV. In this case they’re looking for a CV. What should I do?

Q: My daughter has been asked to write a statement of interest for a job but she has no clue what it should contain, and neither have I.

Q: I’m writing my CV for the first time in 24 years – and I don’t know where to start. I’ve done so much across a range of sectors – to be honest, I think I’ve forgotten half of it. I’ve managed two large retail outlets; sold advertising for a magazine and website; managed a team of merchandisers; and even ran a community enterprise. How can I blend all this together so that it makes some sense without running to 20 pages? I’m at my wit’s end trying to figure it out. (LF, email).

Q: I’m skulking in here with this question. Despite what I say below, my initials aren’t even DG. But you’d never know who might be watching. My question is: how do I start using LinkedIn to get a new job – without my current boss finding out? She’s all over LinkedIn like a rash and she will surely spot me if I start making any sudden moves. I badly need to get out of here and into a rival company because this place is cracking me up.
