This girl has an MA and has spent five years in higher education.
Another genius felt the need to tell me his 'Ethnic background' was 'Caucasion' and list his 'Religion' as 'None'.
Yet another applied for a job in journalism and gave as the first line in his application 'I am looking for a job to further a career in computing/software development'.
I despair.
Ah the yoot of today. I bet this is how our parent's generation spoke about us when we were all fresh out of college applying for jobs? I can't imagine anyone of the Generation Xers putting "emotional intelligence" into a CV though?
Of course, they did it down the pub, not online.
