Hi,

this is an update, of my previous e-mails.

Here one can see, that Jet don't seem to perhaps understand

my IT-skills.

And I'm not an expert, on assessing my IT-skills.

So I was wondering if the University could help me with

this, (and perhaps getting a statement from Naric?), even if it's more than

three years ago, that I went to the university.

Just something I thought about, that maybe you could help me

with?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

I just had a third re-think here, while I was making dinner.

And, there are some things I'm proud about, that maybe

should be on the CV.

– In 1988, I lived in Vestfold county, but got a place in

Buskerud county, on Upper Secondary School, since I had very good grades. (Only

ten studets from Vestfold where allowed to study in Buskerud, (in the city of

Drammen, where they had better asortment, of study-lines) each year, at that

time).

– In 1991, (like I wrote), I was an advisor for the

Conservative Youth Party, in Norway, before the election then, on the

election-programme.

– In 2001, I won a prestigous competition/prize, at work, in

Rimi, called 'Rimi Gullårer', or Rimi Goldmines, that only let's say 5% of the

shops win every year. It's a shop-running competition.

– In 1997, I was chosen by the Home Defence, in Oslo, to be

in a elite-unit, called 'Støtte-området'. They chose freely, between all the

people in Norway, that had been on constription service, in the army, (that's

many people, since one have to serve in the army, in Norway).

– And when I played football, at Berger I.L., we won a cup called 'Vinn Sande

Cup'. And I have third-cousin, in Denmark, (Steffen Heegaard), who's a

director, in an insurance-company, called TopDanmark, and he they write about,

that he won a club championship, in tennis, when he was young, so then I

thought I could write, that we won that cup.

Also, there are a few punctuation-faults, in the first

lines, where in Personal Profile there.

But I guess I could fix them myselves.

Also, I had a course in Windows NT server, that you don't

mention, in 1997 or 98, in Oslo.

And you don't mention the Jet-course I had, last year, in

Basic Food Hygiene.

But that was maybe on a low level?

Now I'll try to eat dinner, and stop writing all these

e-mails!

Sorry about this!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

just something more I thought about now.

(Sorry that I send many e-mails).

The second year, on Upper Secondary Business School, was

also Economy-line, spesialising in Marketing, (and not just Marketing).

I read the CV a second time now.

And what I perhaps miss, is that it isn't explained about

what my degree in IT, is about.

Like, I mean, the CV says a lot about my Shop

Manager-career.

But it doesn't explain what my level 5 degree in IT, makes me capable of, in a

job.

(Even if I remember that you had a folder, where it

explained what level 5 qualifications are).

Also, I worked with System Development, (for Arction

Arvcade, in Norway), in 1993.

And I have a website, on www.johncons.org,

that I've made myself from scratch.

So maybe the CV should say more about my IT-skills/experience.

But I think it tells about my management-experience very

fine.

But I think I should really aim high, since I have both manager-experience and

an IT-degree.

That's really two different 'proper' possible carreers.

But, if one combine them, then I could be like a well-paid

IT-manager or a director.

And not just a food-shop manager or assistant.

That's my thoughts at least now.

I wanted to get a statement from Naric, about my IT-skills, but Jet

Employabillity Team, wouldn't pay for a statement.

And I'm unemployed, so I can't afford one.

But maybe Naric would have thought that my IT-studies are the equivalent of a

Bachelors Degree?

Or maybe a Higher National Diploma is enough, together with

manager-experience, to get a top-job, as an IT-manager or director?

Just my thoughts from reading the CV a second time.

I'll try to not send so many e-mails.

Thank you very much again for the help with this!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi Gill,

thank you very much for the CV.

Here are some things, that didn't look right to me, at

first, in the CV.

So I thought we should be on line, with this, (or else I could have just sorted

it myself).

I worked as a Shop Manager in three Rimi-shops, in the Oslo Area.

(Rimi Nylænde, Rimi Kalbakken and Rimi Langhus).

I started in Rimi as a person sitting in the check-out, (and

not as an assistant).

I'm not sure if army service should be on the CV, but since

you haven't got conscription service, in the UK, then it's maybe no big deal.

My degree, in IT, from Oslo University College, is a Higher

National Diploma/Foundation Degree, (and not a National Diploma, like you

write).

I've also gone for one year, at Upper Secondary School, in

Drammen, Norway, (at Gjerdes Upper Secondary School), (which is a

business-school), and I had went on the Economy-line, spesialasing in

Information Management.

Other than this, I think the CV looked very fine, and much easier to read, than

the one I wrote myself.

Thank you very much again for the help with this!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog
