Would agents fair better if they actually read your CV?

[suityou01]

Suity, from what I can tell you fire out CVs to just about the entire industry until you get some idiot willing to give you a gig, clearly this time around you are struggling to find that idiot.

And on what basis do you say this?

Are you an agent?
With those reading skills you should be


I jumped at the chance and we successfully delivered the project on time and on budget. Something I am very proud of.

If your experience of delivering to time / budget is as good as mine then you're f*****.

Getting closer to jack it each day. The thought '**** this for a game of soldiers' at 6.30am Saturday morning as I got up to do a couple of hours was a particular driver.

And that attitude is why the British economy is ****ed. Where is your gumption man?

Funny I thought you were hired as a dev less than 12 months ago

In answer to this I was hired as a dev, with the sniff of BA. I then joined and the dev had been off-shored so I was just BA.

In fact after that I got moved into the team lead role as nobody else wanted it, bit of a poisoned chalice. I jumped at the chance and we successfully delivered the project on time and on budget. Something I am very proud of.

They would fare better if they could read at all. That would be a step on the road to thinking. The next step would be getting a proper job.

Keep getting calls for .Net roles. It's nice to be getting calls but seeing as I haven't done a coding role since 2009 I'm not exactly sharp at C# at the moment.

So the conversation goes thus :

Pimp: Are you in the market for contact work?
Suity: You bet your sweet bippy

Pimp: Perfect, and how is Slough as a location for you?
Suity: Commutable by car

Pimp: Perfect, well I have a C# .Net role, interested?
Suity: Sure, would make a refreshing change. (Tongue in cheek)

Pimp: Waddya mean?
Suity: Haven't done any coding in about 4 years.

Pimp: Ah ok, but ....
Suity: Do you have my CV in front of you?

Pimp: Yes.
Suity: And what was my last role?

Pimp: I see.
Suity: And the role before that?

Pimp: Sure, ok I see. Well what are you looking for?
Suity: Same as my last 6 roles really.

Fired?

Suity: You bet your sweet bippy

Come on, be honest, they hung up at that point, didn't they? The rest was just you trying to fill up your day.
