Actually, I did no such thing. (Nor have I ever even heard of you.)

No, I don't think you have... :-P

This is like telling a horoscope. The conclusions /seem/ concrete, but 
on closer inspection, they are actually sufficiently vague that they 
could apply to just about any CV imaginable. For example, the layout was 
poor "in places" - but note the absence of any mention of /which/ 
places. Thorough appraisal, I think not. :-P

Ah yes, the /real/ reason that you're writing to me... ;-)

I wonder if this spam-bot has even /seen/ my CV? (It's plausible. It's 
supposedly searchable on several websites...)
