    No because they might ask for your username to check your ability and skills etc and then you wont get the job because they will know you got upset over an Indian takeaway putting potatoes in a curry.

    Good luck with the job search anyway.

    Can't see 6 video games and a watch in almost 2 years giving you much of an advantage over other job seekers tbh.

    Candid advice. I am adding OP's name in my list of people who are passing time of the day so that I don't waste valuable time reading humbug.

    If your applying for a job with Pepper or one of their competitors then sure it might be an advantage to list if you were a seasoned deal poster.

    I'm assuming you have a second account to the one your posting this discussion from as I don't particularly think 8 deals counts "as locating the best deals in the country and posting them on a specialist platform"

    Pepper get ready with a barge pole, well greased!

    you could really impress a new potential employer with a new super poster badge, something to work towards maybe in future for you

    Also, if you did put this on your CV and your prospective employer wanted to review your contribution to the site, they're almost certainly going to wonder why you've only posted 8 deals in nearly two years.

    I'd wager they'd be expecting significantly more than just eight if it's something you feel is worth putting on your CV.

    Not too sure if the post is tongue and cheek as there are no smilies to suggest but if you need to pad out your CV with that as you have nothing better to put then be prepared for it to backfire.

    Post is not "tongue in cheek" and more like nothing better to do and to borrow your word, it has "backfired".

    no don't do it as the employer will think you will be spending work time on this addictive site!! i used to check in on hukd throughout the day when I was working!!

    It depends on what kind of job you're looking for but I personally wouldn't.
  11. innocent's avatar
    No, it might go against you at worst. It might have nothing to do with price of cabbages for the job you might be looking for.

    As it's something not usual people have on their CVs, probably would get checked and probably go against you.

    What sort of job are you applying for?
    innocent's avatar
    I am sure you are true to your username, bless, but 1hr and 15m have elapsed but no response. I know you meant well "init". (edited)

    What happens when you have to give them your username?

    Thinks is a joke thread innit.
  15. IAmATeaf's avatar
    I’ve just checked, from what I can see you’ve posted 8 deals, 1 more than me and I hardly ever visit this site!

    So adding this to your CV may well backfire in a different way if they decide to check!
