atw: Re: Recruitment behaviour

Don't worry Warren,

There are only three more sleeps 'til Christmas and we all know that at
least one recruiter will be getting coal this year.

:)

Cheers.

  Subject: atw: Recruitment behaviour



  I have just been hung up on.
  By a bloody recruiter.
  The usual thing, an enquiry (why are they always rude poms who sound as
though they would try and sell their grandmothers for warm beer?) from some
mob I last had contact with in Sept 2003; asking would I be interested in a
permanent role.
  I asked "Tell me about the role?" (Could people please let me know if this
question was relevant and fair).
  He replied: " I don't have the details about the role with me; but..."
  I asked if he could send me the details before we continued.
  He hung up.

  Well what on earth is going the hell on. If recruitment agents want some
respect why the hell don't they give it? Were they just going to use me as
padding to get their incompetent little pet over the line? Where is the
fairness here? Where is the ethical behaviour that is meant to provide
everyone equal opportunity? Why should I say 'yes' to something I know
nothing about?

  So my response to you recruitment agents lurking in the background on our
techwriting list with your little black books at the ready is this:
  Go stick your rudeness in your ear. HOW DARE YOU treat people with SUCH
CONTEMPT. The sooner you parasites learn some manners, the better everybody
will be. And let me assure you, if I get any funny treatment from recruiters
with even a sniff of discrimination against me I'll land your festy butts
into the anit-discrimination people quicker than you can scratch'em. I can
afford to do it now... And I bloody mean it.

  Merry Xmas everyone else. Maybe.
