Yes yes , I know, whinging (Australian) ,moaning (- most other countries), making critques and pertinent observations (- me!) about job adverts. Here is one of the selection criteria for Queensland Health as a Biomedical Technician. ' Able to demonstrate honesty, integrity and respect for all staff, clients and other health care workers. ' Now what should I say? I once worked in a supermarket in an area that took around GBP 21,000 a week in wines and spirits and I never felt the urge to nick the money? I was responsible for 150K's worth of stock and never thought about walking off with any of it? I once saw someone drop some money and I handed it back to them? Or for integrity - W H Smith (a newsagent group) once upset me - so I vowed never to darken their doorstep for 4 years - and I didn't. Hmmm, what about stating my personal beliefs, now that'd get them going. I'm a terribly nice person as I say so, though a certain UK surplus outlet thinks I'm a terrorist - yup that'll get em the interview.
