The Job
This happened to me at around 7pm one fine day....:
Call in applicant: "I saw a job advert on the net. I'd like to talk to your HR Manager about this."
Me: "We're a recruitment consultancy here. Maybe I can help you with that."
Call in applicant: "I'd like to talk to someone about job opportunity"
Me: "What is it regarding? Maybe I can help you with that."
Call in applicant: "No, I'd like to talk to someone about the job."
Me: "............. Yes, you can talk to me. What is it regarding?"
Call in applicant: "No. I'd like to talk to someone about the job. Can you get someone to call me back about the job?"
*Me facepalming*
Me: "Okay... What is your number?"
Call in applicant: "+971 XXXXXXX"
Me: "Sorry, we can only accept candidates currently residing in Singapore."
Call in applicant: "Fine." *hangs up*
*~*~*
My only reaction at the end of the conversation:
WHAT JOB LAH!
All in a day's work.
*Takes deep breath*
Signing off
