So you're saying because its slang its right?Uzique wrote:
i'm still sticking by the fact it was fine. "i was loathed to" is an idiom and doesn't need to make perfect grammatical sense. it's equivalent to saying "i hated to", you don't have to read it so narrowly and syntagmatically as to get 'i was hated to'.

no i'm not saying it's right-- i even said the grammatical correctness doesn't matter. the meaning is still communicated fine. considering i'm having a long continued chit-chat on an internet forum, i didn't expect some 40 year old to make it an hour-long mission to prove to me that i shoulda dropped the 'd'. can you handle the fact i used the word 'shoulda', there? maybe i should produce some essays to prove to you (and myself!!!!!!!) that i can type in formal english? maybe i'll save my self-confidence by looking at my degree certificate!!!!1 omg!!!Dilbert_X wrote:

Somehow I expected better.
Meeting new people is just one of the benefits that come with it, same as with going out. You rarely go out to make new friends, it just happens. You don't have to be a creepy fuck at a checkout.Uzique wrote:
gb2 making facepalm posts in sc2. i didn't need extra cash during my undergrad years and if i wanted to meet new people i'd go out, instead of wanting to sit at a check-out in walmart attempting to make friends with the 'shifty' method. you retard.Kampframmer wrote:
How have i failed every job application?Uzique wrote:
i've been in financed fulltime education for 3 years, why would i want to work at a supermarket? brownie points?
and coming from the guy that has failed every job application for the career he wanted until he pulled a personal string...
you're a fucking moron sometimes, kampf
I never had to pull a 'personal string' for a job, only for the location.
I have never failed a job application, so far i have been hired at every job i have applied for. And whats wrong with taking a students job on the side even if your education is financed?
I did, i know many other people that did/do it. it gives you a little extra cash so you can buy the shit that you want when you want it and meet new people. I honestly dont see a problem with that.
You are a fucking cunt every day arent you, Uzique?

for your first job application it's a plus yeah but once you start your career noone is interested in whether or not you worked at mcdonalds or the supermarket on the weekends, might as well drop it from your CV by that time.Kampframmer wrote:

Its why everyone shoudl take a simple job as a high schooler/student.
on all my application forms for UCL, cambridge and RHUL there was a page with a list of tick-boxes saying 'please list which retail outlets you have performed mundane tasks for'. i really panicked at that bit!!!!!Shocking wrote:

It's good to earn a little money next to studying but it really doesn't have much value for your career as a post grad.
You CV is something to think about when your study is at an end. I dont think anyone puts their first shitty job on there, only when applying for your 2nd job, so they know you have work experienceShocking wrote:

When did i say that you need a job to make friends?Uzique wrote:
kampf you're like the dutch unnamednewbie, and dutch people are inherently far worse than americans.
i'm sure if i ever felt that i didn't have enough friends in my life that i'd go apply for a job at the local supermarket. i'm sure it's a social renaissance.
I just find it odd you mixed up the two words, its not a grammatical error.Uzique wrote:

How many job interviews have youUzique wrote:
his point was that any career doesn't give a shit what crappy part-time jobs you had as a teenager to get cash. nobody can argue that they worked at a supermarket because they wanted to further their 'vocational skills'. it's obvious that it's just for cash to buy cigs and clothes. i didn't need cash. it's cringeworthy when people write on their CV's that they had xyz job at age 15 and it "helped me develop teamwork and public interfacing skills". please. you swept a floor in a newsagents so you could buy weed. an advertising agency in the city aren't going to be tripping over one another for a candidate because he was a bar-man for 2 years and learnt really good networking skills!!!!
lol. you're "chronic". in your esteem any degree involving literature has been worthless since the 16th century. stop being a little child. i can honestly say if i'm posting in the way i am now when i'm your age, i'd take one of my fancy-fashioned revolvers and end myself.Dilbert_X wrote:

You should have dropped the 'ed' actually.
I guess an English degree isn't what it used to be.
2 interviews. 2 successes. next question.Dilbert_X wrote:

Internships? I'd argue that the important part is how well you're doing in your study.Hurricane2k9 wrote:
