Sorry to hear that, Verencat!

Have some chocolate.

badgoodDeb · 06-07-2010, 10:09 PM

Humph!! Better luck next time, VC. *Do* try again.

nomesque · 06-07-2010, 10:15 PM

Effing recruiters.

Contacted ME, asked me to apply for a job, then after I'd spent time freshening up the resume and talking to him, said I didn't have the right experience. WTF? For God's sake, man, if you're going to do that sort of thing, at least read the *(#^&(# CV properly. And think to ask &*&#(@^ questions about specifics that might not be covered in a GENERAL CV. Don't waste my bloody time!!!

I sent a mildly grouchy note in reply, in the spirit of burning my bridges with the **** company.

Hope it's open next time VC

My main complaint about our local pool is the water temperature - I plan on swimming in it, not having a bath!

Recruiters are just the oddest people ever. It's like the're paid by the number of useless phone calls and pointless interviews they make.
Seriously

Uh huh. I expect it of the recruiting companies - well, most of them. I didn't expect it from someone within the company they're recruiting for. I'm still swearing. What a waste of my time!

recluse · 06-07-2010, 10:35 PM

No chocolate?

Liquor? Chilled vodka? Beer?

Nomesque, I know you could use a drink.

Good for you. I hate recruiters that can't even put 1 and 1 together.

I'll take some Cherry Liqueur Chocolates(dark of course). That way we can combine alcohol and chocolate in one treat yum!

my favourite!

I share 'em with everyone!

Oh, okay!
I got just the thing for you, Nomesque!

I most likely DO have the experience. That's the extra-irritating thing. I've interviewed with the **** company before (years ago). I KNOW what they're looking for. No, I don't list the OSs I work on and with, in my CV - I'm a tech writer, not a bloody programmer! *mutter* Somehow, he's decided I'm all Microsoft-experience-based. Duck-knuckle.

Good for you - you probably don't want to be working for a company that disorganised!

Well that's even more stupid. Usually companies that already know me only call me with a "can you start on Wednesday?" Its the overzealous agencies that do that stoopid stuff to you!

Meet you at the Darrell Lea shop after 3pm. Bring the van, it looks like we have a lot of sharers!
