The only fantasy here is the pretense you know anything.

Hey look my favourite fanboy, after claiming to not say anything about Windows 9 jabs me in the next post about it, you are amazing.

I am amazing. And I said nothing about Windows 9. Just about your failings.

Hi All,
As regulars should know, I am looking at the boot from the company I work for. So that has led me to contact Recruitment Agencies and boy what am eye opener that is. The jobs they advertise are not what they say, use mythical technologies and to be honest to them location is vague (the phrase "South West" can be read as Bristol, Cornwall, or Scotland(!) ) They only seem to care if you have buzz words such as SCRUM, ARM toolchain etc.
There seems to be very little in the understanding of what role entails (for instance I have designed ATE equipment, ATE on CV means I get all sorts of using jobs using rather than designing)

welcome to the real world.
And the only way to get rid of them is to change phone numbers and email address.
They are like this annoying rash that just doesn't want to go away...
|
|

|

No kidding. They probably filter out some keywords and run it through database.
"a couple of pages? TL;DR"
They probably figure that reducing your effort to nearly zero is a valid way to get a good profit/effort ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
It's just the designs ATE equipment is read as uses ATE equipment... trying to explain to some not very techie person what you do is hard (they don't seem to understand because you have designed meter reading ATE, its not easy to convert over furnace ATE!)

Sorry didn't really read the Subject line properly as my Mobile was going ringing & I was given another task to do. I meant that they were calling me, with the want to talk for hours about 'stuff' which was hard to talk about.

that has led me to contact Recruitment Agencies
You must be desperate

Their key word search skills are non-existent - when I was looking a year or two ago, I specified North West England, and was frequently sent job specs situated in North West London. I mentioned in my CV that I had worked on NHS projects and at one time I had been IT manager for an organisation - what did this get me? Adverts for NHS HR Manager positions!
The number of the tossers who keep sending me details of short term contracts when I state quite clearly that I do not want contract work appals me.
Those who can, do. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach end up as recruitment consultants.
I was recently phoned at work by an agent who told my boss she was a personal friend, which was a complete and utter lie.
Another agency we had used in the past phoned here recently asking if we were taking on staff. When told no, the moron tried to headhunt the person he was talking to, This led to a call from our boss to the agency stating that they would never again be used for recruitment in the future for being so unprofessional.

My battle has always I wanted to get a first role when I left Uni. No help there in-fact I was told I should be looking for a different industry (tourism ??) due to my grade. Finally got a Job (thanks Mum!) relevant to my Skill set.

I always heard it as:
Those who can, do. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach PE.
but this one is a nice variation.

My experience of PE Teachers is they were wood work teachers that could cut straight!

I got one sunshine ring up, the company I work for, leaving their number saying it was confidential and asking for me to ring them back.
When I rang back and discovered that the sunshine was "headhunting me" I told him I would think about the offer and call them back later in the day - as far as I am concerned, lying to a scumbag is not unethical.
When I asked how he got the number of reception he told me "I have my ways".
(I also needed to explain to the girl on reception that it was a recruiter to allay her concerns.)

Two years ago a recruitment agency phoned our office and got through to me to offer me a job in the company I already worked at. Not only did I already work at the company I had already been promoted to the very same job he was advertising two days before....

they are idiots, often liars, and are unprofessional, all except one, CIS. If you want a truly professional agency, then go with them .
