These days it looks as if you have to second guess what the HR department want.
What is flavour of the month? Do they have a pet curve ball test? Are they interested in swimming medals or do they focus on qualifications related to the post? Are they looking for someone who will be a team hi fiver or someone who can go it alone?
Maybe an agent will know the answers to these questions but frankly, I doubt it.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

The most important advice I ever got on creating a CV is that it should be one page. No more, no less. If it's less, it'll look empty. If it's more, well, you can pretty much guarantee that any additional pages will be lost as it gets passed around to the various people that might review it. Plus, with only one page you get to avoid the endless war between office drones who prefer staples and the ones who prefer paper clips (and no matter which one you pick you'll always be wrong).

The problem I have is that I 'have' to go through 'professional' recruitment agency, I have done a one pager and had that rejected as there was not enough detail. I have tended to avoid the staples or paper clips by sending it as a Word Document (.doc not .docx as that can cause problems). Last week I had a professional who proceeded to rip my CV to shreds while offering 'free' services who then would not send me an E-mail with his recommendations as it was a 'free' session  (his main justification was well what I am saying is right I have a job you don't!  ). People wonder why this country is in the bucket they need to employ people for what they are good at.

...I've been looking at this one problem.
Why would a simple Linq Except with a trivial IEqualityComparer always return all input objects instead of the "new" ones?
And then it hit me...
public int GetHashCode(CompareFile cf)
{
return cf.GetHashCode();
} 
Instead of returning the hash code for the item within the class that is going to be the same...
Five hours.
And all I needed was a "." and a property name...

I already accused you of something today and that didn't end well, so I'm staying out of it.

Everyone learns something new everyday. But five hours... That's a rough lesson

Unless of course a customer is paying for your time!

I think, technically, he learned something old today

I am sure those wouldn't have been 5 hours if you had posted it in the QA. And also it would have been a truly rare phenomenon when you - OriginalGriff had posted a question. 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Nah...He Who Must Not Be Named would have just closed it as not a question...

No, more like 10 where you have to answer stupid questions about WHY you want to do something instead of just getting answer suggestions. Plus fence off a multitude of "much better ways of doing this"...

Don't feel bad. This happens to all rookies. With more experience you won't ever do this. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The problem is without any doubt caused by your indentation style.

Everyone who works with LINQ is an idiot (my 5 cents).

Do you dislike LINQ, or EF? Why would anybody dislike plain LINQ? And, if you don't know the difference, then you are the idiot.

Don't forget about "Please, call me an idiot" from the post author. Specially for you: I have no idea what is LINQ or EF  Take it easy, dude...
