Forgive me for asking but why is asking for a résumé for a job position stupid? Or have I misunderstood? My apologies if so.
It's not a job.
Here we go, another one getting hive downvoted.
Personally, I would call it a volunteer position, not a job.
Australian volunteer firefighter here with 10 years exp here.
I’d say all of us were all untrained normies when we joined who applied with an expression of interest (hi I’d like to join, I’m definitely not a fire bug). You get voted in and then do several hours of training every week for 6 months minimum before attending calls (grass fires, small incidents) then slowly upskill into MVAs (car accidents), house fires, rescues, medical Issues etc.
Not a great example, especially as nearly anyone can join and gain many skills from nothing without needing a resume let alone previous experience.
People volunteer for being firefighters and then get the training they need.
You do realize that you and the other answering like that means you did get the point he was making, you're just purposefully nitpicking and ignoring it ?
You do realize that I just corrected a false statement?
And whether it was true or not wasn't the point. And you know that considering how you addressed it. If you're gonna argue you didn't know, you're just admitting you didn't find anything weird with him changing the subject so drastically and your first reflex was to correct his statement. Weird way to engage and participate.
It wasn't me who changed the subject, I just adapted.
Yeah, why should I?
Thanks for ridiculing yourself and proving my point, I won't grant you anymore of my time now.
