Wiggum:"You have that much faith in me, Homer?"
Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

University grades here are quite useful in getting the job interviews you want.

Sarcasm? Because I've never been asked what my grades were for an interview (and I've had more interviews than I care to recall). I'm lucky if they ask what my major/minor was. I WISH they'd ask me what my grades were!

EDIT: Oops. Just saw your last comment.
Yes... Used vs. new  :P

That said, is not your uni diploma complete with the results a part of your CV? Because if it is and if you send in the CV prior to the interview, the employer probably knows how well you did in what.


I've never listed my marks on my résumé because I don't think that's usually the convention for listing a degree. At least where I am. I could be wrong, though.

Ok, let me rephrase: if you want the hard-to-get job you want once you get out of uni, rather than ten years or so of experience elsewhere, your results are not an insignificant bargaining chip.

Later in life, experience in high places can get you a job in an even higher place and grades be damned - that's the difference between the "new" and the "used" market.

Does this mean I'm "used"?  LMAO!!!!!

If you have worked within the scope of your education after finishing your degree, then yes. I like those terms. You may call it what you like, of course.  :D

Are there any YouTube vids of you performing/playing? If yes, post details, if no, make one!

I do not own a digital video camera. No, there are currently no such videos because my vocalist is very media shy. Doesn't want people, except a couple he... Trusts, I guess, to see him perform and me, I lack the motvation to publish my instrumental solos.

Which posts about him would you like me to delete? Send me a PM  ;D

EDIT: I'm glad you mentioned that as you'll obviously share an IP address.
