    Dunno, it's a role in cloggy so may have been taken as given by the client. Do you specify the need to speak English when you talk to an agent about roles you're recruiting for?

      Yes. It's embarrassing if they can only speak Hindi.

        Yes and I also need to specify if I need a Dutch speaker too. Its never taken as given as there are quite a few international companies here.

        All the roles over here have one of the pre requisites of language required, its just so they can discriminate against internationals without seeming to do so and then they wonder why the skill pool is so thin.

            I like the "wtf is that" expression.

                The guy who organises the bacon roll delivery on Friday mornings is on holiday, and I haven't got any lunch due to laziness and disorganisation

                Apart from a Cadbury's Caramel in my laptop bag - that'll have to do

                  Rain, hail and murrain of beasts earlier, it interrupted my doze.

                  Now there's thunder.
