    Huxley Associates

    Hi,

    Received this poorly excused 'request for information' from Huxley after applying for a position - claming that a client had requested this information, when it is clear that it would only be beneficial to the PIMP!

    "Sam,

    Thanks for sending your CV in for the role.

    This e-mail means you have been shortlisted for the role and have made it passed the first stage. I am currently in the process of reviewing the list I have compiled to send to my client.

    In the mean time, my client has requested i receive an overview of efforts you have made to secure work elsewhere. They are looking to see how keen you are to get involved in an IT position and want to see how you have been doing it.

    Please reply to this e-mail with a list of interviews you have had and interviews you have coming up so i can forward this to my client. Please do include the company name, the manager who interviewed you, the location of the office and the position applied for.

    This will allow us to update our record of you and will allow our client to get a better understanding of what type of candidate you are.

    Look forward to hearing from you."



    What a crock!

        Just reply:

        "Dear Mr Agent

        Yeah, Right.

        Hugs and kisses,

        Sam".
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                i guess this stuff works on the same principle as 419 spam - it's inexpensive to produce, with a great ROI if just one mug takes the bait.

                  Send them a fake list. Should keep them happy and quiet for a few hours.

                  In fact, I'm going to look for a Huxley contract vacancy and hope I get this invitation off them. Can't miss an opportunity like this to take the piss out of the scumbags.
