    The ones that matter in selling you for that job. Some similar ones I've lumped together. If they are interested, they will ask in interview.

    Dol: What JJ said. But if the cabbage field position is the one and only job the person has held, then so be it. One version is put the latest ones and then maybe list other significant positions.

    Cool, thanks for the tips. I guess I just list my advancement in my current career, which has been steady for the last five years. Probably not necessary to list any of the short term jobs before that.

    Heat, bloody heat! I have even slept in the garden last night! Bloody sahara weather should stay in Africa and not come to western Germany.

    If the others are not significant yes, then dont include it and do what you have mentioned. Highlight the ability to :

    - Leadership skills
    - Ability to work with a team
    - Ability to manage task or achieve goals with minimal or no supervision

    Also any training/seminars that you can apply to the new job that you have attended would also be nice. Not only does it show additional knowledge, but your current employee saw you worthy to invest on.

    Ah, I'm just dreaming. Feel like I could use a change scenery and some new challenges. I'm putting out a couple of open applications and just getting used to job hunting again so to speak.

    I hope you find something what you will enjoy and you can earn more as well. It is always a big challange.

    I am thinking more and more oten to stay here and start job hunting.I see some difficulties but it is not impossible, but I am not making hopes finding a job here. We will see, a lot depends on my husband as well.

    I spent the last two days at 'Tag der offenen Tür' representing the Dutch Artillery at the Gernam Artillery school.
    (it was rather hot too, 38°C)

    damn....time flies when you wake up at 2pm and have steak and eggs for breakfast at 4pm. It's all good though, my body thoroughly hurts from weekend parties. Time to chill out.

    Some questions to ponder this week....

    1. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
    2. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
    3. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?


    PS. I like the scent of men's deodorant..,particularly Degree for men, adrenaline series.
