This just made me realise I still have stuff at Mum's place from my first move 13 years ago... How good are Mums!

FYI, the info I'm looking for is role, company, dates, responsibilities and higher education (if applicable). I do not need photo, DOB, home address, or your GCSE results from 1992.

Today's task: shortlist 151 job applications. I know a lot of people are #jobhunting so will share some #jobsearchtips throughout the day.

Tip 2: Common resume templates are common for a reason. Funky formatting is great, but it works against you if I can't find the info I need.

I'm amazed how many news organisations around the world are reporting the @Qantas Antarctica sightseeing flights as if they were created in response to COVID-19 and haven't been happening every summer for 26 years.

A rather harsh review of Ben Nevis.
“Very steep and too high”
“No facilities at the top”

[Channa @twoweeksleave]

Always amused by Australians arguing with my Irish boyfriend about Ireland. It's like they forget it's a real place and not just a fantasyland from family stories.

@travelfish My utterly batshit fired-for-harassment ex-boss contacted me after 4 years to tell me to stop appearing as a recommendation on her LinkedIn.

The FINAL EVER Qantas 747 international flight has ‘drawn’ the flying kangaroo IN THE SKY. Captained by the woman who was Qantas’ first female Captain - Sharelle Quinn.
Nothing I EVER do will be as cool as this.

@dealchecker Unfortunately it changed everything! Had 3 trips planned this year and couldn't take any! Hard being an Australian and not knowing when we'll be allowed to travel again, or to where, so can't even plan #DCTravChat

When they write a book about 2020 it will be called "Please scream inside your heart"

[Ben Pershing @benpershing]

Japan’s theme parks have banned screaming on roller coasters because it spreads coronavirus. “Please scream inside your heart.” https://t.co/DJjC40H0Ap
