Shocking going backwards. Ho hum roll on next season

There are times to come clean and admit that maybe you are right. I realised when I'm screaming "get to him" swiftly followed by "oh sh**"n that pound for pound you' re probably correct in your assessment.

I thought for a moment the shirt sponsor was Tippex. So near...

Never really been sure what that means in this instance. Boxing, I get. But football? Jack Hobbs? Wayne Brown? Brian Carey?

Oh come on, any of us could name a dozen worse.

Does anyone know how/when/if they open up another coach? Seems theres 1 seat left on coach 3. If I reserve it everyone else gets sold out. Could really do with 2 seats, given that theres 2 of us going.

Sorry to be pedantic. They are laws. Refs have very little to do with rules.

. OK, so you are trying to prove that you are right when faced with overwhelming evidence. You trying to say that somone that does shortlisting and I interviewing within the NHS is wrong and you continue to argue when shown evidence from the NHS jobs website and a local nhs policy. I have argued with toddlers, brexiteers, flat earthers and antivaxers before. im not sure if you are any or all of these but there comes a time when it has been proven you are wrong and nothing I can say will change that, l leave it to those job hunting to work out which advice is the more valuable.

Correct. However I didn't say don't read the jd. That will describe what they want you to do. What i said was concentrate on answering the mandatories in the ps, because if you don't meet the mandatories you aren't getting an interview. In fact, if you do meet all the essentials, unless there are too many applicants to interview them all, you WILL get an interview The person short listing will not be swayed by flim flam and waffle around things in the jd. They will go down the essentials in the ps and tick them off. If it says you must have a driving licence in the ps, no amount of research, mentioning of trust values, real life jd examples will get you on the short list if you answer that question with a no.

Wow! You really want to go with this dont you. Ok, read the following Local NHS Trust recruitment policy https://www.leicspart.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Recruitment-and-Selection-Policy-Exp-Mar-26.pdf 13.7 onwards. You can argue with the policy if you like but it does say "Applicants will be expected to meet the appropriate essential criteria for the position as identified on the person specification for this stage of the selection process." BTW it mentions the JD 3 times. And NOT in the context you think it does. I think we can now accept the my advice for applications via the NHS jobs website is sound, appropriate and in accordance with policy.

Ok and the advice on the nhs jobs site - https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/search/advice/making-successful-applications you know the one I originally stated says "All employers will be judging how well your application matches the 'person specification' for the position you are applying for. The applicants who closely match the person specification will be the ones that are shortlisted for interview. To stand the best chance of receiving an invitation is to demonstrate that you do have the skills and experience as stipulated within the person specification and provide clear examples within the supporting information section." The job description describes the job. The person specification describes the person required to do that job. Recruitment is about recruiting a person not about recruiting a job. You need to meet the person specification not meet the job description. I've been on the recruitment course (a number of times). If you don't know this, and you clearly don't, then I would suggest you either haven't had the training or were not paying attention. So once again, I thank you for incorrecting me.

Fair dos mate. I've only been doing this for 40 years. But you obviously know more about NHS recruitment than I do. I'll leave it with you.

I did say NHS jobs. I was specifically talking about NHS jobs. That is why I said NHS jobs. That is how we do things in the NHS. Others, I have no experience of. But the NHS, that IS how it works. But hey, thanks for incorrecting me.

Just chucking this out there for info. NHS Jobs - the website is the only place the NHS is allowed to put jobs (initially). The hoops you need to jump through to go anywhere else are a nightmare. Tips for anyone applying - look at the person specification. It will tell you EVERYTHING! 2 columns - mandatory and desirable "skills". Hit all the mandatorys and they have to short list you (unless there are hundreds that meet the essentials and then they draw applications out at random). It will often tell you if they are measured on the application form or at interview. Prep for interview is come up with an example for all the mandatory requirements. Questions will be "tell me about a time when you have...". They arent allowed to use hypotheticals. No "if you were a cat, what sort of a cat would you be" This always assumes they've been on the recruitment course.

Yep, the following european sat channels

2 excellent shouts. Poly Styrene isnt for everyone but imho an absolute genius. Germ Free Adolescents & Dreaming are fab. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping is my personal xmas fav. Not wanting to put a downer on things but sadly both Patty Donahue (Waitresses) & Marianne Elliott-Said (Poly Styrene) are no longer with us.

Aint it just. You think you've got everything under control and a song, a smell, a phrase that someone uses. Yeah, cheers. I needed that like a hole in the head.

OK, let me pose the real question then - why did you automatically assume it was a terrorist attack and put it in this thread? "Absolute *** of our time" maybe? or other news threads.
