Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma want a CV?

[Nicebloke]

I called stroma and they were fine with me joining their scheme with my experience and were helpful. I however, received a list of things I need to send them and all was as expected, except for a CV. I never had to supply a CV when I was a member of NICEIC and haven't even got a CV and have no desire to write one.

Does anyone know why they would require a CV because I am not applying to work for them?

Probably to see what kind of Electrical experience you have. Why are you reluctant to supply a CV? I have one and I have been retired for 3 years, not rocket science, plenty of blank CV templates on the net, or have you something to hide?

 

[Nicebloke]

Yes I have lots to hide from my criminal past.

You weren't a plumber were you ?

Yes, as Pete said it's just to check about your history and relevant work experience. Mine wasn't very expansive, just a summary of relevant experience really.

Before I joined Stroma they sent me a list of requirements which included:


· A CV listing 2 years + experience

All I said was that I had been with Elecsa for 5 years!

Well have had it for a start,lol

The technical competency framework for competent persons schemes states you have to have two years relevant experience they are just doing what everyone else should be!

 

[Nicebloke]

I am more than happy to provide a written summary of my experience which I told them I had when I called them, which is different to providing a CV.

It is naive to believe that if someone had something to hide that would prevent them from submitting a CV.

I haven't ever been a plumber and I don't have anything to hide because I'm an all round Nicebloke.

Just put your name an address on a word document and give a time period of more than 2 years to show you've been a spark....... that should get a tick in their "box"!

 

[Nicebloke]

I was registered with the NICEIC for 2 years so that will do.

I am not retired and have better things to do with my days than writing a lot of nonsense and calling it a CV.

You'll have to tell them your hobbies and favorite pass-times.

 

[rolyberkin]

Don't join if you feel that strongly about it, bloody liberty if you ask me for someone who is supposed to be checking and ensuring competence to actually do it!

 

[Nicebloke]

Didn't realise that a CV proves a person's competence.

 

[andyb]

Must admit I wouldn't want to do it, the assessment is for that.
