From the mouths of babes....

[Bbbananas]

I've just received a CV from a 19 year old lass for an admin role at our place. She describes herself as "bubbly friendly personality - I always come with a smile".

Bless her. She will go far with that attribute (although maybe not in the profession she is hoping for...)

Shall I tell her at the interview of her hilarious faux pas - or, bearing in mind her relative youth and (unlikely for this area) naivety - keep my mouth shut?!!!!

[sqad617]

LOL LOL....she she do well in medical circles as well.

[daniela31]

aaaaaawwwwww, don't embarass the poor girl, you cruel woman.................lol.

;-)

[Bbbananas]

I always found it came in useful......
I rose quite far quite quickly.... ;-)
(plus the ubiquitous 'scream' to accompany the smile always helped).

[Bbbananas]

daniela - I wouldn't. But I would love to see her reaction!

[mccfluff]

no way - she did that deliberatly, lock up your husbands/boyfriends/dogs whatever.....

[joggerjayne]

She sounds jolly.

I'd forget the interview process, and offer her the job.

[Bbbananas]

There's a tiny part of me that suspects that mcfluff - no 19 year old is that naive these days! It did make me choke on my tea though - and the GP (male) present did ask me to get her to come in for an interview....!

salla...whenever I hear the phrase "from the mouths of babes" it always remind me of a young consultant anaesthetist that was appointed to a well known Teaching Hospital not too far away from you salla.

If I have told you then please reply accordingly.

[Bbbananas]

It rings a very slight bell sqad, but I've had a few sleeps since then... so please remind/enlighten me.

JJ - I may well take the lass on - the biggest requirement of working in my office is indeed a sense of humour and a knack for double-entendres. She should do well - I will take her under my wing and she will certainly come (into work) with a smile every day. I wonder if she has a brother - I could also do with the services of a nice young man (Keith avoids me - the itching has started up again I'm afraid).

salla - the builders have gone (obviously worn out) but the bathroom fitters start in 2 weeks time (I'm in training now)

[Bbbananas]

you should have had my son craft (only 26 - plumbing, electrical, tiling........and doesn;t wear out quickly!!!)

[sqad617]

Well, there was a certain theatre sister who was �always up for it��.anytime, any place, any where. Was rumoured that when she was on lates, a lift home in an ambulance would be rewarded in the back if said ambulance. The chants of �EASY, EASY, could be heard all over the city.

Now a young fresh faced consultant anaesthetist was appointed and he took a shine to her, without knowing her past history and we all kept �stum�
Anyway, he arranged to take her to a meeting in Dublin, separate flights to avoid suspicion, to nights in a five star hotel�the Gresham, as it was then, dined her, wined her and bought her some clothes etc.

When he returned, we all drew lots to tell him the truth and it fell to me and I had the task of telling him that he had wasted his money and that he could have got what he wanted for half a pint of bitter�����.and he was bitter. LOL

[craft1948]

salla - what makes you think I haven't - LOL

[Bbbananas]

He does tend to be very secretive!!
(He did tell me recently though that he is extremely proficient & good at his 'craft'.... maybe he was trying to tell me something?!)

Sqad - poor gullible man - I don't blame him for being bitter!

[sqad617]

salla...she was nicknamed the "Gateway to Leeds"

He got over it.

[mccfluff]

the gate???? wouldn't he of been better of going through it

[sqad617]

mccluff......LOL LOL

He did both. LOL

[rinkins]

Oh sqad the poor guy! Bit of a touch of a tennis ball down a high street was it? :-)

[sqad617]

rinkin....LOL.....didn't touch the sides as you said.....allegedly!

Oddly enough, she w2as excellent at her job and a nice girl, but just couldn't say no.
