Had really bad experience with recruiters in London
- Lies. From "They have a free gym pass" to complete bs like salary and position.
- Screwed up formatting of CV that I've sent (they wanted .doc) I've written that I have basic perl skills, recruiter changed it to good and destroyed the layout of CV making it unreadable. Good luck with perl question during the interview.
- Constant phone calls with no new information.
- ceejayoz 11y ago> Screwed up formatting of CV that I've sent (they wanted .doc) I've written that I have basic perl skills Isn't unreadable a plus in Perl? :-p
- chappers 11y agoHaha! Nice! A bit like if you have an infinite number of chimps on an infinite number of typewriters you'll eventualy get the works of Shakespeare - the rest is Perl.
- chris_wot 11y agoI'd go in and give them my CV at the interview.
- toolslive 11y agoI once (early 2000s) discovered during the interview the recruiter had edited the CV I sent. I showed my own copy and the interviewer and I ended up putting them next to each other and identifying the differences. It's better if you only hand out a pdf version.
- LoSboccacc 11y ago> Lies I've been in the Dublin market for a couple years and the amount of bait and switch they do it's unbelievable.
- halostatue 11y agoI had a recruiter here in Toronto create a CV for me despite the fact that I no longer keep one (I keep my LinkedIn profile up to date and can replicate a CV if I want to, but I don’t want to). I fired him the next day, saying he was not going to represent me because he didn’t listen to me.
