When you are feeling down...

you can pick yourself up by writing your CV.
Yesterday I told M I'd get round to cleaning the oven this week, in fact it might even have been 'tomorrow' that issued forth from my lips, and he said he got round it by rewarding himself with something nice afterwards. Now it looks as though cleaning the oven might be my reward for doing my CV.
Aagh, I know it's not that hard but it seems very hard when your self esteem is at zero, but finally this afternoon after cleaning and polishing in the dining room I finally sat down at the PC and started plugging away. This morning I had a quick look at monster and decided to steal some blurb from the agency adverts. My main problem is remembering what I used to do and using the right language to make it seem worthy. I have a bad habit of denigrating everything i have ever done. As a result I don't actually feel I have ever achieved anything, how could it be noteworthy if even a doofus like me can do it. So I started feeling down and now feel slightly more upbeat about it. The real hilarity is trying to remember the more obscure jobs I had back in the 90's - do they count? And how many words from Office lingo bingo can I manage to put in my CV? The real work is yet to come in the final details, 80-95% of the facts are down it's now a matter of presenting it in a more attractive manner but that as they say is for another day. now where is that oven?
