Fed up with recruitment consultants :/

Result.

"Hi, can I speak to Nicky, please?"

"Speaking."

"Oh, Hi...This is Jimmy McNumpty calling from GodKnowsWho Recruitment. I've just seen your CV on Monster and I'm calling because I have an exciting opportunity for you."

"What is it?"

"We have a .NET Developer position available in Swansea..."

"You said you got my CV from Monster, yeah?"

"Yes..."

"So you'll have seen that I'm based in the north-east of England, yes?"

"Yes..."

"And you'll also see that I'm not willing to relocate?"

"Um..."

"So yeah - I'll take the job. I want £25 an hour and to telecommute only. I also want the role to be permenant and a contract to explicitly state that I don't have to do any actual work. Deal?"

"Er...I don't think this role is for you..."

Quality!

:D

Yes - I want to know too! Also - Not see my post earlier Penski? You still not with one of the Uni's? And how come you're working two jobs.....What are they?

Nosey bugger. :p

Not at the uni any more, working a second job to earn a few more pennies so I can buy some things without having to scrimp and save elsewhere.

I once got tapped on on Facebook by a recruitment consultant. What cheek!

I also get lots of offers to work in Sweden, France and all over the shop. They don't seem to understand that I don't want to relocate. :mad:
 
I just told one that I would rather flay off my own skin then roll around in salt than do the POS job they contacted me about.

FFS, my CV even explicitly states "Do not contact me with regards to any role which I have not directly applied for unless I have given you explicit permission to do so. Doubly so if you contact me with regards to a role which has nothing to do with my skillset and job history."

*seethes*

Goddamn scum.

*n

I'm fed up with them as well.

"Have you got any experience?"

"No."

"Then I'm afraid we cannot help you."


FS read my blasted CV you retards.
 
Just had this email from a guy who got me a job at a company a couple of years ago.

recruitment consultant said:
I'd heard there's been a rather brutal round of redundancies at company name, this week, so wanted to get in touch and check that things are still ok for you. If you could drop me quick note to let me know your 'safe' (and if you know anyone who isn't that I ought to get in touch with, I have got a great set of jobs currently!).

I've already left that company, but nice to see he's caring for my wellbeing and not at all trying to make a quick buck from people who may have been made redundant ;)
 
Was once offered a job in Warwick from a recruitment agency based in London. I live in Walsall.

The recruitment nutter insisted that it would only take 30 mins to reach Warwick from Walsall via the M6. I just laughed. He offered to match my hourly rate +30%. I told him this wouldn't cut it.

I gave him 10/10 for effort. 0/10 for "clue".

Well I am currently looking for a job and spammed a few job sites etc putting my CV up. Next couple of days I got around 5+ agencies going nuts over me saying oh yes we have the perfect job!! Got 2 interviews from one agency (these were for architects as I want to do CGI Images so thought great) The first interview I really liked the company but it wasn't to be as they wanted someone with more skills and the second one didn't even want a 3D modeller, what a waste of my time and petrol!!! I have even gone up to London to meet with one agency and now around 2 weeks on I have heard absolutely nothing from any of them!! I was lucky though as one agency has contacted me who actually have a guy in my specific field and it looks very promising that I will have a job offer tomorrow!!! :D So its really weird as I would think they would want to really sell me but not heard diddly, hey ho there loss lol.

And that's probably why they contact you. Great words to have on your CV. I bet you're their dream candidate, sitting pretty on top of their thousands of other CVs just itching to find you your ideal job.
