Blaging works for me.

I've taken to the "fingers crossed and hope" approach

I do that even with the blaging.

Does it work?

Not really.

And the reason I've taken to running any letter poast about six people who might have a clue about what I'm writing.

Thats a good idea.

Of course it really helps if the companies actually respond to you. That way, no matter what the response is, you can at least get some feedback.

It always helps, but they tend not to go out of their way usually.

And that is one of the more irritating parts of the whole enterprise. A reply is always nice even if it's to say we've considered your application and decided against it. But just ignoring the effort shouldn't happen. Bad management.

Well, bad public relations, but it is a good use of time and effort as far as they are concerned.

I see it as a potential mistake if they ever want to try head hunting you in ther future. Personally I wouldn't be keen on accepting a position with someone who had ignored requests earlier and though I might accept the position I would try to make them pay more for the priviledge

I know what you mean, when they know its in their own interests they go all sweetness and light on you. It can lead to an advantage.

Wishful thinking at the moment that we have such power, but one day!

How's the Subbing going?

HI Menza, hi DE I can hear and see you talking now.

The Usual please, whoever is serving.

OK, I really should get on with my current batch. But last week was a little hectic, and so is this week. So it may be a little while before I get any done.

And I'll have a |_| too

*pours |_|, and |_|*

The first |_| has the lemonade.

Good.

*Takes the and second |_|*

I was so relieved this morning the bar at Gatwick had BB in an optic. . First |_| of the stuff all weekend was at 11:58 second at 12:05.

Cheers Menza.

I've just submitted another entry. I'm kind of wondering if it will only take the three nand a half weeks the last one was in the queue to the subeditors
