I guess that this will reinforce the general views on HR people. :lol:
Quote£200,000 exec axed after telling jobseeker: **** off
Email rant sent to 4,000 people
A RECRUITMENT executive was looking for fresh work himself last night after he emailed "f*** off" to a job hopeful — and it went out to 4,000 people.
Bungling Gary Chaplin was axed from his £200,000-a-year post at a top headhunting firm after his expletive-riddled reply turned him into an industry laughing stock.
In it he let rip at sender Manos Katsampoukas for simultaneously emailing recruitment firms with a polite note and a CV in his search for a finance or marketing job.
The reply — in which Mr Chaplin said he spoke for "all 4,000 people you have emailed" — declared: "Please f*** off — you are too stupid to get a job, even in banking."
He ended it: "Yours hitting the delete button Have a nice day!" The message dropped into the computer inboxes of the SAME 4,000 people Manos had emailed in the first place.

He's too stupid to get a job, even in IT.
The hands of fate?
E-mail received from people who accidentally click "Reply All" can be quite delightful. :)
The rant seems partly aimed at this McCarthy fellow, I assume for giving the job-seeker the list of 4000 to email to.
Recruiters at recruiting firms are not HR people, I would think. They're agents.

Salespeople is more like it.
Dude sent a form letter to 4000 people. I bet he also got a lot of nasty responses from the ones who didn't reply all, and thus didn't make the news.
Today I added a recruiter from one of the local firms to the CAL'S ENEMIES OF THE REVOLUTION LIST. :mad:
Dumb bitch lied to me twice in one email. I guess she didn't realize that the very same questions I would be asking her I was going to turn around and ask the candidate she had me interview. :hmm:
LIE #1
CAL: "Does this candidate have any actual DBA skills? I don't see any on his resume."
LYING RECRUITER: "Yes! He's never been a DBA per se, but he has the skills."
...
CAL: "So talk to me about your DBA skills."
CANDIDATE: "Oh, I've never been a DBA... I don't have any DBA experience at all, really."
LIE # 2
CAL: "This guy's current employer... is this a bricks-and-mortar company or is he self employed dba as this 'company'? I've never heard of this company."
LYING RECRUITER: "No, it's a company, based out of South Carolina."
...
CAL: "So your company is based out of South Carolina?"
CANDIDATE: "What? No, I'm self-employed. [Company name] is just what I call myself to potential clients."
End result was an hour of my time was wasted, an hour of the candidate's time was wasted, and the candidate was extremely embarassed and I felt bad for him. The DBA thing I can excuse because she's probably too stupid to know what a DBA even is, but the company thing is total bullshit, because I told her "I want a guy who has been working for a company, not a contractor who is used to setting his own hours, because a guy like that probably won't fit in here" I need a Mono, not a Monkeybutt. :)
:showoff:

Of course, he sounds like an idiot. I'd just start lying. :D

Great scene. Marky Mark did an ossum job of singing *just enough* off key.
Those worthless chickenshit cunts didn't respond to my enraged feedback. Oh well, they go on the ignore list. :)
Fortunately I work with two other firms that have recruiters who actually know what the fuck they're doing, so I don't need them. BUH-BYE Robert Half.

We had an existing relationship with them, so our HR VP insisted I try to work with them too. :sleep:
I did an interview on Friday and when we asked the guy if he had any previous experience working with and learning software he went on at length about his successful campaigns of Lord of the Rings, and how at first it was his fault the group kept failing, but eventually he led them to success.
I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, but I noticed he was wearing tennis shoes, and I asked him about that and he said he didn't have anything nicer, and that his wife had made him quit video games and go back to school and get a job.
I feel sorry for him, but I decided to be merciless and not recommend a second interview. :P
:lol: how old was this guy?
He must have been 25ish, maybe 26.
Very sad.
That was a commercial on G4, the video game network.

I've interviewed a few people like that.
CANDIDATE: My hobbies include video gaming... I play this game called World of Warcraft, not sure if you've heard of that--
CAL:
GET. OUT.
Lol. Good on you.

I hate those. And people who who put their hobbies in their resumes.
I BUILD SHIPS IN BOTTLES! <_<
It's really, really stupid to do that, yes. I also dislike it when people insist on telling you personal shit in an interview. I interviewed a guy two weeks ago who insisted on telling me he like to go hunting, fishing, and boating. While I share his interests, I don't really care because I'm hiring a slave, not a friend. :)
I include my turn-ons and turn-offs in my resume.
And people putting their photos in resumes. ACK.
