Computer scanning documents, cv's etc ?

[ronan]

We've all been in jobs where we were made to feel crap by thankless, overpaid and underskilled idiotic management. I know i certainly have, i had to suffer a buffoon of a manager while serving my time, who thought he was gods gift to the engineering trades, but he couldn't read a tape measure. It didn't do him any harm though, last time i seen him he was driving an amg merc and living in a million quid house .

Most scanner software will save straight to PDF, and will handle multiple pages too. That's the simplest and best way to handle scanning entire documents in.

unless you have text recognition software it will only scan in, in picture format.
as mentioned somewhere above its worth sitting down a starting from scratch at least then you can edit what ever when ever you want and email it to people in a clear format

One of our sister companies is run by a guy who kept getting promoted out of harm's way, much to the relief of the rest of the guys who'd been alongside him 'on the tools'. Several years later most of them were glad to work for him after their original company went bust (though they still slagged him off behind his back).
My boss has the big country house, villa in Spain, collection of classic cars, yacht, horses etc. so he's doing quite well out of the rest of us; maybe if he shared the love we'd all put in even more. I've never been motivated by money, I'm not a social climber, don't want a big house and flash car but I'm sick of having the p*** taken now. I could see another ten years going by and I'd still be on less than 30K with 20 days holidays and no pot to p in. It seems that nothing will change unless I change it...
Sorry for the thread hijack, chaps

My previous job pi$$*" me off that much I started up my own business and swore I would never work for anyone again. I stand by those words still today.

You're not the first person i have heard saying this, it must be nice to work for yourself.

It has it's ups and downs, non paying customers, uncertainty if you'll have work the next week and it something goes wrong it's nobodies fault but yours

I'd probably still do it again though

+1 for that.
As Dave Allen once said -"We live our lives by the clock - get up by the clock, go to work by the clock. Come home by the clock. Go to bed by the clock. Next morning, up by the clock, back to work by the clock. After 40 years of that, you retire, and they give you a *******g clock!"
Self employment at least means you get to own the clock.
