I acknowledge that getting a job is hard these days......it wasn't easy for the likes of Cashy Jaysay and myself.......we were all of a similar era........those children born after the war finished, baby boomers....all leaving school at 15 with no paper qualifications, factory fodder.....and todays youngsters leaving school seem so much more worldly wise than we were(or was that just me?)
Todays youngsters all seem to have more(for the want of a better word....and I mean it in the best possible sense) cheek!

I had never heard of a CV....you just turned up for a job and tried to impress.......and if you got the job, then you made sure that you gave it your best shot.
Or is my perspective skewed by the passage of time?
I'm sure there will be those out there who will tell me if it is .
