IT recruiters

[trueblue1234]

It hurts doesn't it. There was you hoping I had no engineering background. Now your whole argument is in tatters. I can just feel that frustration boil up in you again. It's like being rejected for another time.

Trueblue1234 - if you are a recruiter you've pretty much proved what most of us have been saying.

Bite me MS. Did you read what Punt Kick has been posting. I treated him with the same contempt he was showing all recruiters. In fact i was being obviously OTT about it. But you'd no issue with that did you.

I've posted reasonable to other posters in this thread but if someone is a dick I'll treat them as one. And Punt kick has plenty of form under No Wides, Cold Tea.

So why did you post this "Bite me MS." in response to a perfectly measured comment I made? If all our experiences are similar perhaps you should acknowledge there is a problem? Being out of work is a stressful time and when you get the feeling the person who's supposedly the link between you and a job doesn't give a f**k it is extremely annoying.

I've recently secured a good role with thanks to a pretty good recruiter who did exactly what I'd expect all recruiters to do. He was fairly honest also. He readily acknowledged that there are a serious number of cowboy recruiters and agencies operating. He has restored my faith in there being some good guys.

If there's previous between you and this other poster that's your business but you're certainly not presenting a good picture to a casual observer like myself.

I posted that because it's clear in this thread what Punt Kick was doing.you choose to ignore his posts and focus on what I was replying about. You didn't have to have any previous knowledge of Punk Kick. I had already acknowledged that there's bad recruiters. And even advised what to look for in a recruiter. But I won't just lie down to a internet hardman who obviously couldn't win an argument in real and has to try to pick fights on line. Plus it's rather enjoyable to wind him up.

Sorry i must have missed your post which listed your real work experience in all these different engineering disciplines.

Right next to the post where you said what you did.

By coming across as completly inept in your chosen role?

What does it matter what I do. You are the one claiming to be a recruiter and an engineering specialist  an easy claim anyone can make. Have you ever worked outside reaching out to folk?

Actually part of my job is working out the bullsh!tters. Which helps when debating with u.

[punt kick]

Trust me kid you are not debating with anyone. You are just showing how inept and immature you are. Good luck in conquering the engineering world, you appear to be nearly there.

[trueblue1234]

You've a high opinion of your own opinion. I suppose someone needs to. But good luck in your future recruitment endeavours. I'm sure you'll work on surpressing the anger.
