Maybe time for a CV revue! Your post just comes across as arrogant and immature!
Humour can easily get lost in text! Try a serious well laid out CV, put some pics up of your work, your interests, and see how that goes.
This is the first and only reply since you posted this in September!
I’ve lost a lot of work over the years as I’ve been too confident and just put people’s backs up. Lots of boring guys like me in their 40’s desperate for hard working good staff but if like me they have had dozens of guys come and go over the years, you see signs that make you think, why bother.
If you are unsure how to write a good cv, start a thread asking employers what they look for! I’d choose attitude over skill any day! Skill can be trained, attitude is much harder to manage!
Good luck!

Hello Steve thanks for the constructive criticism, although you have been rather judgemental in your reply, my ad is in designed in jest and clearly the humour has been lost on you and those who liked your comment.  

 

Indeed this may be the first reply I have had since September when I originally posted this ad, but I have had several calls offering me work full time off the back of this ad back in September. I'm not after full time work im quite happy with my 30K groundsman salary I was just after a little work at the weekends to keep me busy. As I suspected most people don't like working weekends so there isn't too much interest in finding staff for weekend work, but it was worth a try.  

 

Just a side note most normal work wanted ads only generate double figure views, I made an ad that stood out and I got around 270 views when I first posted. if I had just posted a boring hi my name is bob and I have my chainsaw tickets employ me please ad I wouldn't of had as many people looking at my ad.

 

I know how to write a good CV thanks, what's the point in making a thread about what employers want when most people on here know. Employers are struggling to find good staff due to the cost of qualifications needed to enter the industry and a lack of hands on experience in the industry. If you do have the experience and qualifications you don't stick around at a company too long as you have a higher earning potential working self employed providing you can generate the sales leads, that's why we have so many tree surgeons around.    

 

I'll post a standard ad up and see how that goes...

 

All the best and happy arb'ing
