Erik,

whilst i appreciate the information that you have given to me in relation to

your work history and qualifications, much of this is irrelevent to a CV. This

information was all in your origional CV and this came to 5 pages long. Much

of this CV resembled a full dialogue of your life experiences. The idea of a

CV is to be concise and direct to the point so that the employer does not get

bored reading it.

I did not

mention the website that you showed you in my review as it had nothing to do

with job search. As you quite correctly pointed out in your complaint to the

job centre, that is why you are attending this mandatory employment zone

programme. I didnt write that you have handed me a copy of your job search as

i have actually put the sheet in your file with your

review.

I do

however agree that your specific IT expertise in the areas of HTML, Java

scripy etc should be added to your CV and i will do this

today.

Regards

david

And here's more about my degree, 'Høgskolekandidat', which I found

on the internet, (Euroeducation.net):

The Høgskolekandidat

(College candidate) degree is obtained after two

years of study. This degree may be built upon to

obtain a Bachelor's degree. The degree is offered at state university colleges

and a few private institutions.

Heres

a link, by the way, from Wikipedia, about the Norwegian Engineering and

Technologist-society/union, NITO, which I'm a member of, (since I have the

IT-degree, from Oslo University College):

And also,

I think it should say, that I'm an 'award-winning manager'.

Because when I won the store manager-competition, 'Rimi Gullårer',

in the second half of 2001, then I received a metal-pen and a signed letter

written to my name, from Forbes-billionaire, Stein Erik Hagen, (the founder

of the Rimi Food-shop chain).

Just something I had on my mind.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi again,

sorry that I'm sending many e-mails.

But shouldn't it say on the CV, that, (since I have the Norwegian

degree in IT), am a member of the Norwegian Engineering-organisation NITO,

and also, (since I have experience from management), am a member of NITO's

manager-forum, (which only a few hundred engineers/tech-educated people are

in Norway).

Just something I thought about.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Also,

we don't have something called 'Health and safety', in Norway.

I'm not sure if that should be mentioned as one of my main skills,

because I'm not really sure about what this includes.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

also, it shouldn't be a gap, in the time I worked for Rimi, I worked in

the check-out and with stocking goods, from December 1992 to the summer of

1994, from then I worked as a manager, untill the automn of 2004.

Also I wonder if it shouldn't say on the CV, that I won a prestigious

competition, ('Rimi Gullårer'), in shop-management, in Rimi, for the second

half of 2001.

Only a few of Rimi's many houndred store-managers win this

competition every half-year.

Also, I have work-experience from System Development, from 1993, which

I think should be on the CV, from the stated reason, that IT jobs are the

first I look for.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi Mr. Ellis,

I just wanted to send some feedback on the CV.

Firstly, my degree from university-level, is a

'Høgskolekandidat'-degree, in IT, from Oslo University College, from

2009.

Jet tells me this is comparable with a Foundation Degree/Higher

National Diploma.

That's it.

I haven't got any more degrees from University-level, even if I

wait for one, in Information Management, but then NITH in Oslo has to

approve of some of my IT-modules from Oslo University College first.

And I haven't got a Higher National Diploma in IT, it's only a degree

which is comparable with that.

Further, I have sent my CV to 'the Fuller CV', and they wanted me to

write about that I have a degree in marketing in my personal profile, so

perhaps that should be mentioned, on the CV, that I have a degree from Upper

Secondary School in Marketing, (and Information Management).

Also, I think it perhaps should say on the CV, that I have skills in

HTML, Javascript, CSS, Programming, System Development, etc.

You said in the first meeting that you wanted to asses my IT-skills,

but I can't see that you have done that.

I think that since I have a degree in IT, then IT is my main-field, and

then my IT-skills should be put on top of the CV.

Since when I look for jobs, on the Jobcentre website, then I first look

for the IT jobs in Web-design etc.

And then I think the CV should be customised for that.

Also, you didn't write on the summary that I gave you a copy of file

showing the jobs I've applied for, since the last meeting.

And you didn't write in the summary, that I showed you the website,

that I have been working on, since the last meeting:

www.johncons-fanclub.net

You said I shouldn't have a photo of myself with a beer-can, on a site

like that.

I explained it was from the Matthew St. Festival, where one are

allowed to drink outside.

Since one of my interests, like it says on the CV, are music.

You also wondered if I was going to put my CV on that web-site,

which I could confirm.

And I showed you a picture of my grand-mothers furniture, to do

with that she inherited Holger baron Adeler, which is Norways only 'proper'

noble-line, I think I have to say.

Just thought I'd write this, while I remember it.

Hope this is alright!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog
