Damsel in distress

I feel older with each passing day.

My friend has just forwarded me a CV for me to offer my opinion. Apparently she had sent it out to a recruiting agency and wasn’t getting the feedback she wanted.
Personally I’ve never been comfortable dealing with the so called ‘professional’ recruiting agencies maybe it’s because I do not understand how they operate. It has been a bad experience for me. If given a choice I would rather deal directly with any prospective employers.

Back to the subject. The young lady makes me feel old reading her CV she is just about to finish her professional exams looking for her 'first' job. It reminds me of my struggles here.

I hope she makes it - although as expected lack of relevant experience might be a challenge I think she will be fine. But it is London, very competitive but also the opportunities are there. That's my Saturday morning briefly.

PS: Damsel in distress was the heading of the email!
