22BUK

Grammatically incorrect? In what way?

Here's an example:

"The ability to give good presentations is crucial to the effective sharing of ideas. However, ability is half the story - you will also need to develop your confidence. No one is doubting that it is a daunting prospect when we first have to present our ideas to a group of people. But this confidence will come with a knowledge of presentation skills and practice."

I'm with 22BUK here; there's no reason why doubt cannot be expressed as a present participle.

Funnily, one of my kids had some homework this weekend and they had to put a few verbs into present and past tense, and also express the present participle. One of the verbs was to know. Just about the only verb i can think of where "he/she is knowing" is invalid except in the most tenuous or contrived circumstances. But we went with "he is knowing?" along with instructions to quiz the teacher under a bright spotlight

To the OP, good luck with your search. Tough times.

Guys, i didnt open the thread for an argument about grammar, i opened it in the vain hope of someone who may have an opening that they may want to discuss with me job wise!!!

Open a new thread about grammatical issues if you want to argue about it.... Thanks

Roll with it - no such thing as bad publicity. If you want the thread on page 2 by breakfast tomorrow, put people off posting. Like you've just done.

Up for the night shift

what would scooby do

^^read this and take it in^^

Probably 80% or 90% of the CV's that I see get ripped up due to spelling errors or even worse; the applicant has relied on their spell check software and not had their CV proof read by someone else.

You mentioned Toyota, I very much doubt they will be setting on new workers as only last year they spent a fortune on voluntary redundancies, saying that I hear that work is on the up there so who knows. Any new positions will be on agency ( Very very probably )

But be warned I spent 5 years there and hated every minute of it, very repetitive work, same process every 90 seconds or so !!

Good luck with your search

It never hurts to ring up companies and ask around, the worst they can say is no.

Don't forget taxi/minicab work has initial costs and tests to complete before you can work.....

Taxi work has crossed my mind as a temp thing, but as said there are costs involved firstly that deem it not financially viable.
