Recruitment agent feedback

[nomadd]

Sounds like you misheard her and what she actually said was "We have special needs here - can you handle that?"

No, I don't think she was an agent.

Yesterday, I had a classic:

Agent's lackey phones up after I apply for role on Jobserve. "Do you have any Enterprise Java - this J2EE stuff?"

I reply, "Yes, it's the last 10 years of my cv, the one you are currently looking at."

She says, "Great, I'll pass your cv to the Account Manager".

Ten minutes later, phone goes again.

Lacky says, "The Account Manager can't see J2EE on your cv, so can't put you forward for the role."

I ask her, "Does the Account Manager know what a Servlet, a JSP or an EJB is? Or a Web Application Server?"

She puts her hand over the phone to ask. The reply comes back, "No, she doesn't know what those things are."

I say, "OK, tell her that's the J2EE she was looking for. The last 10 years of my cv..."

Agents. Utter fookwits. But thicker.
