No I'd rather be elsewhere but I did contracts in the UK never found a stable job. it's not better there and besides the Uk and Malta my profession is not that transferable. I came to Malta for a holiday only and my ex dumped me whilst I was here and he was in London. I was penniless I had no option but to stay.
I adapted my CV when I looked for a teaching job which was seasonal. However the problem I am facing is in my line of work and it comes with age because I'm 37. I can't hide that and need to show my relevant experience and all of it is relevant in my line of work.
FYI CVs with spelling mistakes get binned and what do I write that I've been stranded alone on an island for the past 12 years I've worked and had a sugar daddy instead of 7 years of uni? Get real please
I lost my job in the recession in the UK in 2009. I've been applying for jobs in my native Malta and London and going for interviews. However I'm being penalised because I'm overqualified and overexperienced. I think I should start looking at a lifetime on benefits. Any creative solutions to the overqualified tag besides threatening interviewers who employ only juniors with a gun? I'm at my wit's end.
what's wrong with being plain lazy? I enjoy it. I've had active and hectic periods in my life. this is my down time. You don't have to be in military shape to feel good about yourself.
we're not talking about that! just people who prefer to spend their free time indoors, you know the loners who live like a recluse ......i got dumped for being like that and God knows I won't find anybody similar except Boban it seems!
Men and women on this site claim to enjoy the outdoors, camping, trekking, picnics, fishing, swimming.....where are the homebodies on this site, those who'd rather stay in and read a book or watch TV or hang on the internet. Anybody prefer a cafe society lifestyle?
I believe in honest dealings with people. I didn't ask to meet up or be called. I only said hi. I am a self-declared recluse because I find most people annoying and dishonesty gets to me.
I don't even have a three day rule. Today means today. Worst experience on cs I had a blind date on my birthday this year and the guy stood me up and later tried to pull the wool over my eyes with some lame accident story. It was the worst birthday ever and I only salvaged it by driving to my favourite restaurant and dining alone. Manners are hard to come by these days.
AJ attraction for a woman needn't be instant. If you spend time in a woman's company and there is character compatibility or charisma someone who may not be initially attracted to you may become so. It's happened to me that with time I grew attracted to men I considered ugly. Don't give up. Most women have suffered at the hands of the Davidesque supermodels you mention. We don't all end up permanently in a relationship with one. As we mature character plays a greater role. In fact you may find you are incompatible with your supermodel boyfriend.
update - I woke up this morning and he has blocked me !!!!! My last e-mail simply said have a good day in reply to his have a good day. He had so many options not answering, not inviting me to meet up for a chat and he chose the block option.
Hey I've played matchmaker in the past and they got married. Feel free to set me up. If I don't like the guy I won't lead him on because I'm a straightforward person.
