it'll be fun to send some CVs out and/or fill in applications.
It might be interesting to see if I get any offers I suppose. Whether any employer would be prepared to give me a chance, even though my CV looks something like this:

Work Experience

It's not exactly impressive, is it? Do I mention that for the last decade, i've been a virtual hermit, suffered some pretty bad personal problems, and so haven't been able to work or socialise? That my levels of self-confidance and self-esteem are at rock bottom? That I have severe social anxiety? That I have no social/people skills or emotional intelligence? Again, it hardly makes me sound like 'employee of the month' material. They'd probably just dismiss me as a useless, unreliable, lazy, excuse making malingerer. But then maybe that's what I am . . .
Anyway, here's me at an interview:
