There's not much else going on, even more people at the jobcentre yesterday.

Just completing an application for an IT position at the Youth Justice Board.

I downloaded an application form for a job with a local council.

It's made up of a set of questions such as -

1.Experience of maintaining ICT equipment
2.Experience of using and supporting Windows XP
3.A good working knowledge and understanding of the MS Office 2003 suite
4.To have a basic understanding of TCP/IP networks

Easy enough to answer, just emphasise my skills and experience. However I don't have a clue as to how these 2 should be answered -

9. Understanding of the multi-racial community in xxxxxxx, and the implications for service delivery

10.Ability to demonstrate an understanding of the Council‘s equal opportunities policy in respect of service delivery, and an awareness of the needs of differing cultural groups and other minority groups.

The form starts of with "You must be able demonstrate that you meet all the essential selection criteria listed below"

Has anybody got a clue as to what these questions mean?

Thank you, that would be very kind, Miss D.

I sometimes feel that the world has moved to somewhere different and my attitudes don't fit in with all this PC stuff.

Has anybody got a clue as to what these questions mean?

Phone the council information department and ask for copies of their policies in this area. Precis these as your answers to the questions.

Alternatively you could say "I understand that the area is overwhelmed with ragheads, nig-nogs and other foreign scroungers and that they have different expectations than those of us born here ~ therefore as an employee of the council I will be expected to bend over backwards to show deference to their wishes and demands, to the detriment of those who have lived, fought and died for England"

The second option will not get you the job but you will feel better for saying it.

Miss D's offer sounds like an easier way of achieving my first option.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
