Fucking Recruiters

[FMJeff]

Dear Oracle,

Explain to me why I continue to get calls from recruiters with jobs nearly 1500 miles from my home? Do they really think I'm going to up and move to Wisconsin for a three month contract? FUCK. Stop calling me if you don't have a position within thirty minutes of my home. You're wasting your fucking time. So annoying.

Exactly!! but since a recruiter is how I got my current job, I wont say anything bad!!

My favorite is when a job is far away, I'm not qualified for, and to top it off, it's almost no money.

"Program in Fortran in Abelene, TX for $7 an hour!"

they called me for an electrical engineering job that was local to my house. it sounded awesome, the job seemed really cool and interesting, and a 10 minute commute.

so i interview, find out the salary. no joke, 14 bucks an hour. and an engineering degree was required. i was so fucking pissed i walked out of the interview.

My favorite is when two recruiters from the same firm call and offer the same job.

put together a "speel" for them..telling them what yer qualifications are..they hate when the upper-hand is stolen from them...I did that job in Chicago when I was a kid.

Beyond asinine. What kind of a fucking company would a) expect to find a degreed engineer to work for $14/hr; and b) pay a recruiter to find a prospect at $14/hr, and 3) what kind of recruiter would contract to find a degreed engineer for $14/hr?

all questions that i asked myself as i drove home in a suit. my recruiter told me they just started working with this company, and they had no idea. i was fucking livid. i had to take a 1/2 day from work for this shit

Ive got one even better. I got contacted by a car rental company who wanted ONLY people with degrees to work the counter, the interview process was THREE WEEKS long and they offered 29,000. Insanity.

the amazing thing is someone will fill that job for that price. meanwhile they spent 200k in employee time interviewing people
