No problems. Writing a CV is difficult and you don't need to lie, you need to understand how your eperiences really do fit you for jobs. You don't need to have experience in a job to have experience that's relevant to it.

You should also be looking at a slightly different CV for each job.

PLus you should hope to hell they don't know Moi if he's going to supply references

I saw a thing on the news the other night where a guy did his CV on YouTube. It got him some sort of design or marketing job.

I once missed out on a job with PC world because they gave me a test on DR-DOS. Even though they didn't sell anything running DR-DOS. The manager doing the interviews just ripped the test from Digital's website not knowing the difference between DR-DOS and MS-DOS. She wasn't happy when I explained it to her.

Top interview tip: Don't annoy the interviewer

Edit: And try and do some volunteer work. It gives you something to put on your CV and references.

I am going to come round your house and slap your legs.

If that is what you see in the mirror, then that is what you project to your opponent. Confidence comes from within. You really must practice your confidence.
Visualization in the key. Picture it, say it, feel it. There is plenty of info out there if you need it. Even some of the Paul McKenna books and DVD's.

I am not necessarily suggesting you need that level of help, but you really need to give yourself a talking to.

Eye pokes in the UFC.
Rules state the dude has 7 minutes to recover so why are you calling in a doctor ater 30 seconds when it could end the fight? Yeah no one wants to watch someone stand around for 7 minutes but I'd be more annoyed by a doctor stoppage.

Totally agree with Simon, you really need to get over this 'small, weak, helpless female' issue you have. You're learning a new skillset, you're not going to be able to apply it well to start with, stop trying to muscle your way through everything and start thinking about leverage and position. You also need to accept that there will be people you can't beat. I have a female friend who is a brown belt and she still gets submitted by bigger men - not as often as she used to mind you!

and me too?

Corona you just have to try ignore those idiots where you live who impressed upon you the notion your'e a 'small weak little female'

Brainwashing is hard to get rid of, those little meanie voices that play in your head put there by those douchenozzles. But you can do it.

Um...I AM slight and weak, though I've learned to get somewhat good at locking a submission hold off my back, lol.

I love the word douchenozzle. I say douchebag a lot but have never heard of 'douchenozzle' as an insult...gonna start using that. XD

See, that just enforces the negative. My wife does that and it drives me mad.

You are slight, but pound for pound can more than match any girl you know.

How many guys at your gym can do pistols and the pull ups (with added weight you do)?

For what it's worth I can't do either pistols or pull ups.

I meant relatively, lol. I am somewhat strong for a 50kg girl (yes, I'm that low right now) but not comparably so with a 75kg dude.

This... Is what makes me Grrrr. There are women bigger and smaller than me in the club I train. I have no doubts that many of the guys my size or bigger could use strength to pull off a hold or takedown and I'm not happy about it. Which is why I know I need to work harder to improve my technique, keep my ego in check and ignore those of the others (rare in ninjutsu but was fairly common in other MAs I've done past) and why I've added weight training recently to help redress the imbalance but I can't do a pullup yet. Hopefully by the summer, before I hit 42
