Hello
Maybe the applicant for the job should have had her uncle do the interview for her in the first place, in the same way as he is seeking advice in this forum on her behalf.

Well it all depends on what her partners (it might not be a boyfriend!) uncle was minister of and his attitude towards back scratchingI should point out that she neglected to say that she is of Irish descent and that her partner's uncle is a Minister in the present government (not that this would have made any difference I'm sure).
Er...I was not looking for advice
I would welcome any comments or guidance that I could pass on to the dear girl.
If the role is a public sector role, the rules of openness and transparency would mean that the hiring manager can do nothing with the unsolicited CV should new roles open up. The best you can hope for is that they would notify you of vacancies.I have a question about canvassing that doesn't merit its own thread, so I'm putting it here. I noticed a job advertised recently for a new local development that has really caught my interest. This advertised job is managerial and currently far out of my league, but it got me thinking that there may well be admin jobs in the pipeline. I've visited the website of the development and there's no concrete date set yet for its opening. If I sent a covering letter and CV for the attention of the person concerned with filling the managerial job (this person is based in City Hall, so perhaps they have stricter guidelines re unsolicited CVs), stressing that I realise I am not qualified for this particular post but would appreciate it if they could keep my CV on file for more suitable roles in future, would this be interpreted as "canvassing" or as "Oh, this person is quite enthusiastic about working on this project"?
