You work behind a glory hole?

He is the glory hole.

By doing Skype interviews?

You would still smell this guy

[dty]

How he got any work I'll never know.

Thankfully, I've not had to do a face-to-face interview for many years now

agree completly no need to F2F techies as the most retarded/stinky looking ones are normally the best.

I once worked with a guy who stunk the place out and was rubbish. He spat when he talked and he did it so much while talking to a colleague who was eating their lunch that they had to throw it away

How he got any work I'll never know.

agreed

Many of my techie colleagues have serious personality issues, ranging from atrocious personal hygiene to an inability to communicate face to face. For some roles, that is OK, but for some it's not, and a face to face is what you need to screen out the weirdos. If anyone doesn't recognise that, they're probably one of the weirdos.

If they've met you before, who can blame them?

If the role involves lots of interaction with people, then it can be useful to see how people actually react to being in that kind of environment rather than just seeing how they look over a video call.

If the client says "I want a face to face interview" and the applicant says "how about Skype instead?" then I can see how some clients might wonder what they are hiding that they don't want to come in.

Oh, please let this be possible. Pretty please. You know you want to.

Better to let the OP post only in the NTRT thread.

[TheFaQQer]

Why would you prefer to them to be physically present? Would you need to touch them up or something?

Can you not justify the ban due to the fact that this is Contractor UK and he obviously fails the residency requirements

[Pondlife]

Let him back, but only let him post in General.

[Scruff]

He is just a tw4t so can't help himself. Time are tough in Magyar?

Let him back, but only let him post in General.

[cojak]

Can I jut get this straight?

He was originally banned for being a sockie.
He then convinced Admin that he wasn't a sockie but was a real person.
You then decided that he was an arrogant twunt and banned him again.

How long has being an arrogant twunt been grounds for banning?

No, he was permabanned when I thought he was being a sockie, he then complained to Admin.

And I'm pondering whether or not to let him back.

(But eek's right being an arrogant taunt has been bannable forever, it's just how far you're prepared to push it. Just look at flipFlop. One if the biggest twunts around here and I've actually unbanned him.
