I've Been C Worded

So....an Applicant wrote some really "colorful" language to me yesterday. I hire for a lot of different markets and for different promotional positions all around the US so I have come up with questionnaires that I use to get as much information from people as possible so it's easy for me to just forward onto the Hiring Manager. I hire volume....like 50 people for a program in each market. Well....this GENTLEMAN applied to a position that is a Customer Service/Sales Rep job. A Contract job - a 4 month gig. I sent him the screening questions and he writes a summary back. That's fine but he didn't include his availability when he responded. I made mention (via email) to him that he was missing some information but I'll still forward onto the Hiring Managers and he in turn (within a minute) sends me a "C word" email. Basically that I'm a piece of crap and that he doesn't need a stupid part-time job. (It's actually a full-time contract position....but for the sake of argument I'll let part-time slide) He's been out of work since March of '09.....a year. Now, I can understand frustration because in the world we live in today a lot of folks don't have a job and the economy is for nada and Recruiters and/or Hiring Managers don't even take the time to follow up but DO NOT bite the hand that feeds you. Seriously....calling me vile names is going to make you feel like a big man but what about when I'm in another role hiring for a Lead Sales Manager (this guy has done sales for IBM) and you walk in? Do you think I'll ever consider you? Word gets around. And Karma. Karma is a beeaaatch. Don't let her get the best of you. I have to say that I was a bit flustered when I received his email response but after calming down a bit and deciding if I should or should not respond I bit the bullet and wrote this, "Thank you so much and have a nice day! :-)"

I'm such a C word.

HAS THE JOG RUN ITS COURSE?

I've neglected you, my JOG. I have. There's no denying it. But it's just because, well....I have a job now and I think I'll have it for awhile. So....what to do? Should I change the theme of my JOG to a.....LOG? Life Blog? Not sure.

I'll check back in soon with an answer.

Until then....to all my unemployed brethren and sisteren, keep the faith. You'll land somewhere soon. Things are definitely on the upswing. AND, if you need my assistance, just ask.

don't hire me
