telling a recruitment company to make scones

alltogether just not very friendly.

I did one this morning in brum land, 9am the cross eyed guy wanted to see me (didnt know was he looking at me or the roof...), after an hour he said I was not qualified enough for contract work which is fine but it would be been possible im sure for him to suss that out by my cv without me getting up at 4,30am.

in Scotland, different slice of cake, refreshments, banter, a joke, expenses paid.. and a job offer a few weeks later after some continual feedback via email.

another recruiter said JLR are awful to work with since he was there.

Him inviting you over = your CV was fine but your interview was sh*t. Recruiters are sales people, they don't waste time. But they do love keeping you sweet by making up 'positive' feedback so when the next suitable job comes they'll sell you that.

Refreshments seem like a big deal to you. What exactly are you referring to? You mean like a glass of water? That would be standard practice and just basic manners if you're settling into an hour long conversation, but anything beyond that you're having a laugh! I'm assuming when you say 'different slice of cake', you're talking metaphorically? They didn't actually bring you f***ing cake? WTF are you expecting at interview? Tea and scones? A bag of f***ing chips? Stop now!

but from three companies... and not just the refreshments, its the f**k all feedback, general ignorance and like going to interviews takes alot of effort especially in busy busy roads in England

:cool:

You should have done your homework in the first place.

Can I suggest a major change in attitude.

maybe he couldnt cos he was cross eyed

its H20 i am on about, not a pizza....lol

They did see that. They gave you an opportunity to sell yourself. That's what an interview is; your sales pitch. Half the battle is showing you actually really want the job and aren't going to f***ing moap around complaining about the lack of cake. If there's 10 lads with the same experience looking for 1 job, they'll eliminate people for the most trivial of things. Things that might otherwise not even come into consideration.

Maybe you're just grumpy cause you're tired.

Did you have your juice today? Did the straw break off in the carton?

That'd make me grumpy too.

Or maybe you're grumpy because you didnt get near the job you interviewed for, in fact, they were nice enough to offer you the chance to interview for a position more on your level but you laughed them off?

being offered a water would be at the start of the interview... makes no difference how you did in the interview one iota.

OP,I've put them all in one convenient post for you to read through..............now can you see what we're seeing? There's a common trend throughout!

Better luck next time eh!
