Why stop there? This is likely to be scanned by the HR system with permissions to the internal employees database?

Just add yourself directly as an employee, and remove the Recruiter from the equation:

  -- My CV is so great query

  INSERT INTO company_employees (employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_title, department, start_date)

  VALUES ('9999', 'John', 'Doe', 'Senior Vice President of First Impressions', 'Executive', CURRENT_DATE);



If I'm going to insert data into the company database I'd rather use an ALTER TABLE query to join 'first_name' and 'last_name' into a single 'name' field. Otherwise they'll never be able to hire anyone from the Japanese Royal Family, plenty of people from Indonesia or, more generally, anyone from this list:

DHS and the federal government in general require a surname and a given name. If one does not have one of those, your first or last name will effectively become FNU/LNU (first/last name unknown). For example Teller of Penn and Teller changed his name to "Teller", but passport says "FNU Teller"


Granted. Lets add ourselves as employees AND improve the system as first action.

While we are at it, automate the first one on one, and automatically grant a promotion. Sounds like we need a recursive function....


You assume that programmers in the english speaking world think that there is anyone who uses anything except christian name, surname, especially in a corporate environment


Are you looking to change your name to little Bobby Tables?


and don't forget to scrape the fractional penny from everyone's monthly paycheck for your 'travel reimbursement'
