Day 679


Aka Monday 10th December 2018

Today I had my first Universal Credit meeting today, which went well as I’m mostly doing what you’re meant to be doing when looking for a job. We agreed that I would write a proper CV (all the jobs I’ve applied for so far haven’t asked for a CV as they have either had an online proforma or asked for a personal statement instead of a CV), that I would spend 3 – 4 hours a day looking for work and would set up a LinkedIn profile. I also got my Personal Security Number, which is…used to prove who I am when logging on to the Universal Credit website. Our next meeting is at 10.50am on the 3rd January, but hopefully I’ll have a job by then…

...I then spent the day setting up a LinkedIn Profile (is it me or is LinkedIn not very user-friendly and a bit of a messy website?), started work on a proper CV and applied for a civil service job...

…and I did the G2 Crossword:


…which gets the week off to an iffy start as I had to cheat on nearly a quarter of the clues (seven out of 25), partly because of foolishness, e.g. I went with ‘Greece’ for ‘Plato’s birthplace’ instead of ‘Athens’, partly due to my ignorance, e.g. I didn’t know that the ‘land attached to a parish church’ is called a ‘glebe’, that ‘Sisley’ was a ‘impressionist painter of British nationality, d. 1899’ and that a ‘crocus’ is a ‘Spring-flowering plant’, maybe Tuesday’s crossword will go better.
