    "Crystal or MIS"

    Thought it said M15 there for a moment MF, and 'crystal' was some sort of code word...well, they are meant to be recruiting aren't they...ok, I'll get my hat.

    There is work out there. I usually look at the keywords Crystal or MIS. I hit 65 matches on contracting last week for one day. Thats possibly the highest I have ever seen for a 1 day match!!!

    You're right of course, Chico.

    One call a day for the last week, so thing's are picking up.

    An unusual time to do so though, don't you think? Things are usually beginning to slow down for Christmas...

    Look at it this way - there is work out there. Sign of a bouyant market.Just ignore the emails.

    Is this the latest scam..?

    Or am I being a cynical old git?

    2 unsolicited emails from @ccenture.

    Email #1:
    So first they trawled Monster and picked up my details...

    "Following a search on the Monster CV database, we have identified that your CV may be suitable for the above role. ......

    Your skills and experience would appear to be a possible match for this position and we are keen for you to apply. Please review the job description by clicking on the attached link and if you feel you are suitable, complete an on-line application form. Once received, we will review your application further and should you be invited for interview you will be contacted shortly."



    Email #2:
    Then Then they shoved it into their database and I get the response...
    "We have received your information for the position of XXXX-00000123. We thank you for your interest in our company and would like to inform you that you can consult our current job opportunities and easily submit your information online through our careers website."

    A novel approach. Will they complain if I show no further interest?

Working...
