Looking for aproject from september, and enjoying the usual semi-amusing crap from incompetent agents.
See this e-mail exchange between me and an agent;
Agent; 'bla bla bla....we will not be offering your CV to our client because you have little or no experience in a financial environment, and Clientco specifically asked for this experience'
MTT; 'I have clearly demonstrated, in my CV, experience at ING Bank, DSB Bank, Swiss Life, and the testing of an application for the insurance industry; this might not add up to a lot of financial experience, but is certainly not 'little or no' experience.
Agent; 'we are seeking a candidate with experience as a Test Manager in a financial environment; you have Test Coordination experience, but your only Test Management experience in this sector is at DNB (Dutch Central Bank, where I have never worked).
MTT; 'In my CV, extensive Test Management experience is documented at four different financial institutions; I cannot avoid the impression that you have failed to read either my CV or my last e-mail. I have considered forwarding this e-mail exchange to Mr <name well known to me>, who is the Program Manager responsible for hiring a Test Manager for the <project named in advert> at Clientco and who expressly asked me to apply for this role via your agency, having been my Program Manager at a previous client. I shall thus be forced to offer my candidature via another agent on the client's PSL.
