CVs

 Job seekers: Are they?

NewstalkZB (so I assume the Herald) has a headline up:

 Expert issues warning as more job hunters use AI to craft CVs

 The "expert" is, as always, a "CEO" of something I've never heard of and, also as always, a fucking sheila.

When was the last time you heard of a proper CEO perusing CVs?

This shows because once again the CEO, if you believe the NZ Herald/NewstalkZB on the source, has got it wrong.

As an ex-employer, unless I was looking for a minimum wage, low IQ fuckwit with some internet ability, I can assure you an obviously AI produced CV would instantly go in the "Don't-Waste-Your-Time pile" - and all AI produced bullshit is obvious. 

AI produces thoughtless, uninteresting and brainless bullshit that reproduces the mistakes and prejudices of the original writers, magnified many times. The spelling and grammar is usually painfully correct and the "points" repeated endlessly until the word quota is met.

The last thing any manager wants is an employee unable to think or solve basic problems and one who is also dishonest is a must to avoid for any job requiring a CV. In CVs AI = dishonesty and laziness.

Individual CVs may contain as big a load of bullshit as a combined Labour/Greens convention but at least they demonstrate imagination and an actual desire to be considered for the position.

NewstalkZB/NZH must do better! 

 

Paltry?

 The headline:

Paltry $970,000 saved as Govt freezes incomes of 3000 families

 

 The Government (read "The poor bloody taxpayer") pays lazy bastards to just work 20 hours per week - or less.

 They use tax credits for this payment and it affects few people. 2943 families according to the linked story.

The Government has decided not to increase the limit of this credit this year.

The story appears in the NZH and is written by an obviously barely literate slime using the name  Thomas Coughlan 

Coughlan describes the amount the taxpayer saves as "paltry".

 Now, to me, $970,000 is a reasonable saving. A few Government savings of this type and maybe even old white men might qualify for medical procedures currently limited to racists. Hernia operations being the most pressing for yours truly.

But I'm always willing to be shown the error of my ways and be corrected. This time the means suggests itself.

Mr Coughlan should pay me (out of his own pocket) $970,000.00 and I can find out for myself just how paltry it is.
