And another

Here is another thing that I cant get over. The number of job applicants  who
- submit all their school certificate  year 13 certificate  which CLEARLY say they failed half their subjects (like seriously, english 28%, maths 32% etc)  and in their cover letter go on about how well they did at school ??????????????????????????????? unfortunately...the one I read today even had a school award (from their own local school) for top in maths for the class....but their SC mark was a big fail hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....not good for the look of the school right ? But where and when does it calculate in their own minds...that a 32% fail is not something to gloat about ? like seriously...it does NOT work in your favour in your job application where staff are expected to do simple maths :(  I would have just left that off my CV and talked about things I am good at in the community/society etc

and  also
-the number of cv cover letters that sound like this 
" I am a friendly and driven person with ambitious goals for the future. I am punctual committed and hard working. I am an honourable and intelligent person, who will ensure that my contribution to the workplace will lift the level....bladibladibla" my point is...oka oka gi big words about what they are...ae gagu mai le kagaka makuia LEILOA....who is to blame? that cousin from overseas who said they would write their cv for them (mate...a nice sounding letter is not a winning ticket...you may think its some sort of 'ticket in' but once the letter and the person are viewed as non symbiotic....makuia igoigo lava le mea lea e kokoe). Also, there are now people 'selling ' CV services in APia and will write your CV for a fee....what a joke when it is not a true representation of this persons attributes:(
