Astonishing. Bit harsh considering you've never met Smiffy's one.
The cunts withheld my bonus. My boss went on holiday yesterday so I won't even pretend I'm working anymore.
I gave up a due Korean bonus to come here. Worth it though.
How's the change going now you've had a bit of time to settle in?Quote:

I've quit. :)Quote:

I've been offered a 10k raise and a promotion if I keep my house in order for the next 5 months. Turns out the big-big boss was at some place I was at and saw 'untoward behavior' around the same time that I made a couple of monumental fuck-ups at work. I have to prove that was a temporary blip and then I'm basically running the show from then on. Bit weird so I went out to the pub and plan not to do any coke in the toilet.
@Smiffy tells me this time it's for real, he even wrote a song about her

What? To all of that. What?Quote:

Probably.
Since I now qualify as a student again, I am able to apply for student jobs. I know two principals at a national-size architecture firm, and I know the hiring manager for the Edmonton office. One of the principals told me to apply. So it's basically a shoe-in, but I'm still second-guessing everything. For example, do I include an Interests section in my resume? Do I take anything out?
» architecture (e.g. works by Max Dudler, Terunobu Fujimori, Kengo Kuma, C.F. Moller, John Pawson, Peter Zumthor)
» art (e.g. pieces by Franz Kline, Richard Serra, Marjan Teeuwen, Canan Tolon)
» bad jokes (e.g. paraprosdokians, puns, shaggy dog stories)
» community development (e.g. affordable housing, community arts programming)
» neuroscience
» political and social theory
» politics (municipal, provincial, national)
» soccer (coaching, playing)
» urban development issues (e.g. regional farmland management, transit-oriented development
Super cringe.
Remember the mixology.
Tell me more about these shaggy dog stories.
And the Panda Walk.Quote:

who's shagging dogs?
Don't include interests on your CV, anyone that can bullet point their personality is someone to watch out for. Work them into your cover letter where they make you look good like the local politics/urban/community development stuff. I couldn't give less of a shit of your opinion on Dadaism unless you're going to force me to listen to it, in which case I will hate it.

Well the changes that saw a bunch of people get made redundant at work mean that for April, when we're apparently in a month between people leaving or (like me and another girl) having our secondments ended early and new people coming in to fill the gaps from elsewhere as part of the reshuffle, there'll be less people to do the management-y stuff than they have people to do it.
Can already hear me being asked to basically keep doing my secondment even though they're ending it early.
What do you do @Ian?
@phonics: apparently it's good to pair typefaces by serif for titles and non-serif for text, so I'm going with Bank Gothic and Trajan. :cool:
Seriously? I would heartily recommend not doing that.Quote:

Trajan is a headline font that you use for the front of a book cover, not for a resume title, you look like a Greek restaurant. And then for your body text you're going to force people to read a font in all capital letters? They'll zone out within 10 words. I must admit that I hate 99.9999999% of Serifs so I'm slightly biased but I'm still correct.
Go for DIN throughout. It's versatile enough that you can use it multiple different ways in the same block of text and it all works together. You can find a pirated copy in about 15 seconds of googling.

Work on a customer service team in a sort-of call centre (we don't really get enough calls for it to really be called that) and have been on a secondment managing one of the teams since December.Quote:

But I do have one real question: should I include in my education section that I will be attending UBC's Master of Architecture program this fall if I am going to be applying for student internships? Or do I mention that in my cover letter and exclude it from my resume given that I haven't technically started?
I do like DIN as a typeface, though. I'm pretty into Neutraface 2 (https://houseind.com/hi/neutraface_no2) right now too.
Pro tip for piracy using a famous search engine: "site:github.com typeface". Add ttf or otf to narrow down if necessary.
Times New Roman for everything and be done with it. "Typefaces." :sick:
If you're an engineer, yes.Quote:

That's the Word default, isn't it? If so, then that is also what I use most of the time.Quote:

It depends how clever the software you're using is when it comes to justifying the text. InDesign, for instance, is very good at analysing bit blocks of text rather than individual lines, and as a result, the text is a lot easier to read.
