Wrong Attachment

Imagine sending this instead of a cover letter and photo for your CV haha,

Whoops.


Job seeker Vanessa Hojda accidentally attached a picture of Nicolas Cage to her job application instead of her CV and cover letter.

Realising her mistake, 20-year-old Vanessa posted the image to her Tumblr blog with a message.



She wrote: "I ACCIDENTLY SENT MY POTENTIAL FUTURE BOSS A PICTURE OF NIC CAGE RATHER THAN MY COVER LETTER + RESUME, WHICH HAS A ZIP FILE TITLED WITH A BUNCH OF NUMBERS LIKE THE JPC I ACCIDENTALLY ATTACHED OH MY GOD."

Chef Debut!!

A great night last Thursday at the Killarney Plaza hotel, for celebrity chef. I hate the word celebrity and would never consider myself one, but all in aid of the Kerry Rape and Sexual Abuse centre we had a great night and cooked up a storm :)


I was on Dessert duty, the lovely Rita Talty and future Mrs. Daithi O Se was on starter and Kerry football legend Ogie Moran on the mains.


Iced Nougat with Caramel spirals, caramel sauce and poached Kumquats  were my task and Thanks to the lovely kitchen staff and brilliant chefs it turned out perfect.


Alas, however it wasn't to be for me :) I came 3rd (last) and Ogie's main or turbot and roast rack of lamb was to be the winner. 


Packed out for the night though and a good lot of cash was raised for the charity.


Thanks to Orla and Mary from UpFront Model management for getting me involved and Mary eile and Michael from the hotel for all they did too and for hosting it :)


Andrew.
