Seriously, I just Had These Conversations

So, it's my Monday touch base with recruiters. Let me share some of the highlites:

"Clients doen't want to see anyone who is unemployed." (Courtesy of Shiti Staffing')

"They are looking for that one in a million person." (Courtesy of 'NotRealSilver Associates')

"These hedge funds are so strict." (Courtesy of LowerCast Staffing')

And, last is my favorite...

"Enjoy the rest of your summer." (Courtesy of 'SomewhereInTheAtlantic Recruiters')


WTF?!?!?!? Um, who is employed these days? And nothing instills more confidence in me than hearing a recruiter tell me to enjoy the rest of my summer. He may as well have told me to go jump off a bridge. Happy Monday friends.... Happy mother f-ing Monday.

No Luck Here

Who didn't wish me luck? Someone must have forgotten to because no word yet on the job I applied to at Frederic Fekkai...but no worries. You know why? Because a lovely young woman from 'Cubic Zirconia Personnel' says I "...should make an appt. with her so she can place me as soon as possible." Um, what magic power does she possess that no other recruiter does? Seriously. I am not falling for that line. Again.

Do You Really Need To Ask Me That?

My mother, who means well, asked me "...are you calling the recruiters to help you find a job?" Questions like that make me go into a fit of fury... no, mom, I'm just sitting around with my fingers crossed. I suppose the irritating factor is that I have tried everything, EVERYTHING!!! For my mom to think that I haven't, that really hurts me. As well as reminds me of how dire a situation I'm really in.

This is all Storgan Manley's fault!

Wish Me Luck!!

So, a real passion of mine is cosmetics. I mastered the smoky eye at age 13 and must have several hundred dollars worth of cosmetics in my beauty arsenal. It's been my dream to work in the cosmetics industry and I just applied for a positiion with Frederic Fekkai. 2 years ago I applied to the same job and when it came time to discuss salary, there was dead air on the other end. You never want to disscuss $$$ before you get an interview; I know that now ;-) So, please wish me luck because I want to be 'Miss Employed... in the cosmetics industry!!!'

Groundhog Day!

Welcome to crazytown! I just noticed that I already regaled you with the courtesy dreckitude that is Clogap. I think I'm going to appoint Clogap, a/k/a Full O'Crap, #1 Used Car Dealership of the Year... condescending attitudes and disrespect for everyone!!! Come on down while supplies last!

However Could I Forget This Gem!

Remember my friends at Full O'Crap? Well... they officially reached Used Car Dealership status when they asked "...are you working with anyone else?" Of course, I fibbed and said "No". Full O'Crap's response... "...maybe you should be." So... are things realy bad for Full O'Crap or is she ever so tactfully rudely telling me I suck? Whatever the answer... Full O'Crap a/k/a Plogap... you can stick your Tory Burch ballet flats in your ?!$!@#% !!!

Age Discrimination?

I won't tell you my age, but I am not fresh out of college nor anywhere near retirement. But, it really gets to me when I see job listings for Executive Assistants who are 'recent grads'. Recent, as in the listing actually states '2006, 2007'. This is pretty blatant to me. You know what will happen... these sweet young things will wise up and bail. And you know what, I will be damn sure that I will be in a position to say "No thanks" when these biased companies realize they need a qualified Executve Assistant. So long sukahs!
