Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?

It’s the same shit as the kids saying “candy” instead of sweets in the UK, and getting british accents from Peppa Pig in the US.

The date stuff is super stupid though :

  1. Fuck the US date scheme

  2. You don’t need fucking day numbers for anything on your CV, except your DOB.

  3. 7th Jan 2007 . You’re welcome, now it doesn’t really matter which order you put the DD/MM
