Bulltulip Rejection Reason

[JimBobTwoTeeth]

I'm betting your CV is too long and too wordy.

Only the last few years matters in detail, the rest should be summarised in a couple of lines.

My CV is tighter than Nun's Bleep. It doesn't even make 2 pages.

Also it was rejected by the end client.

I just think it is such Tulip. Any person with half a brain could deduce that I was simply out of work since Xmas.

Arrrgggghhh!

[Churchill]

Apparently my CV 'is not up to date'.

There is a ten year history on there ending in December. From Jan i've been job hunting.

Seriously WTF!

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Somewhere over the rainbow...

Every cloud has a silver lining...

Their loss not yours!

Just don't end up in Swindon.

Just shift all the dates forward one year.

Year++

Sorteeeeeeeeed.

but like tha it sounds like an entire year of my life was wasted in a pub, after all I even mention my microsoft training on my CV - the pub was actually constructive, surely it's worth a mention to any worthwhile employer??

This is another one that should be in an FAQ for contracting:

There are many agents and clients out there that can't vocalise a reason why they don't want you, so they say something, anything, just to give a reason and that is why what they say can appear quite daft.

Then there are a few agents and clients who get off on rejecting you by saying something they think will upset you.

Just remember guys and gals, if they don't want you, they don't want you, anything said after that is, 99 times out of 100, random gibberings and you should not take any notice.

HTH

Odd , normally they start with random gibberings..

Then move on to inane questions like ‘I see you’ve been an Oracle DBA; can you write SQL statements?’ or ‘do you have 5 years experience with Office 2007?’

'how are you finding the market?'

'how are you finding the market?'

There is some sort of agent school isn't there, how else would every agent up and down the land have the same stock questions?

As for the OP, I never get a reason as they always say it's been submitted just to shut me up, of course you never know if they did or not which makes it difficult to judge whether you should apply via another agent. But that is their game plan.

More importantly I wish I'd get feedback from interviews, I hate the feeling of a gig slipping away with every hour that passes without a phone call, especially when they tell you they want to make a decision that day.

Even worse when you see the same job ad go up the next day.
