why do employment agents have their heads up their you know whats

jedimaster · 20-02-2009, 20:42

just recieved a rather unsavoury e-mail re: a job vacancy advertised through another agency with regards my c.v. basically telling me he hadn't bothered to read it properly (info supposedly missing)
so i replied pointing out that the info was there if he bothered to read it (nicely but to the point)
to which I got another email telling me I had a bad attitude and to ****** off basically.

where do these idiots get off i've now ben penalised cos he cant be bothered to do his job properly

(probably shouldnt mention the job was for a recruitment agency

)

Sorry pal but dont follow that...put the whole sinario up and maybe advice will be forthcoming?

ok here goes.
applied for a job this aft for a recruitment consultant
applied through an agency which has already accepted my c.v.
my details were sent from one agency to another
the second agency sent me an e-mail saying certain information was not included in my c.v. and unless i sent a new c.v. direct to them including the said none existant info my application would be binned.
I replied saying the relevant info was included under the relevant section
in the center of page 1 and the consultant should re-read the c.v.
to which he replied that I had a bad attitude which he would not tolerate
goodbye, game over, sod off

Have you made an approach to the local bus companies....If. you have a PSV or whatever they call it nowadays that will save them money on training?

flashy · 20-02-2009, 21:01

HA....i suggested that last week Roy, you try convincing him cos i couldnt

panther · 20-02-2009, 21:05

My fella as a psv licence and cant find any jobs either, tough world out there

jedimaster · 20-02-2009, 21:08

and as i said to you shaz
i have tried the bus companies and i keep getting the same response

because i was a coach tour driver they will not touch me- their philosophy is once a coach driver always a coach driver as soon as i get the chance to go back on tour its bye bye saturday night drunks throwing their half eaten kebabs round the bus and hello nice old grannies who give me money and are nice to me

hmmmm think they may have a point

I came back from Spain in 1987 after a failed excursion and had not got a pot to P..s in, no stars you notice.
I applied to Blackburn Transport for a job and was taken on and within twelve months I was an Inspector.
I had to forget about previous experiences and the glamour of being a driver courier.
A job is a job.....Drive busses and progress from there.

jedimaster · 20-02-2009, 21:13

you obviously dont understand this aint 1987
and its the bus companies that wont take coach drivers not the other way round
i've been to them all

because the bus companies know that if they employ coach drivers they are going to leave the job in the summer when the coach tours start, therefore losing drivers all the time

panther · 20-02-2009, 21:28

Well what a load of bull, coach drivers dont earn as much as bus drivers so why would they leave?
