I have worked 20+ years in retail. I had, and those who also work/have worked in retail, a special retail smile
I'm a teacher. If I EVER said what I really think, I would be out of a job the same day I started.
Me not on a zooom call, people=...., me on a zoom call, people=, imma vaccum now
This is an adorable picture! That little girl just can't believe he's cheating on her! That poor, little shocked face!
If you stop expecting people with 1000 years experience who'd abandon their families and work for free, we'd probably stop lying as well.
That's a golden buzzer right there for the company that offer a crappy job. that lose 8-10 employees per week.
Are you supposed to send more than one? verything is digital now. Why would they need multiple?
Even "Sorry, we are not interested" or "Sorry, we decided to hire somebody else" is way better than no reply at all.
Well, giving them the pay range before could have saved you both the trouble..
Nothing hilarious and not "work-related memes" this is only about recruiters complaining.
This is the worst post. Recruiters lie all the time and then they won't tell you your base pay because the company is making double or more of what you are being paid.
Why is there a boredpanda.com watermark on each picture. Does BP know that compiling screenshots of tweets doesn't actually make it your content
I had one guy retire and they wouldn't repost the position. This was a rapidly growing company. As a manager, I worked my way up the chain, stepping on toes if I had to because my crew was drowning in work, and I was barely holding onto them. Finally after more than a year, and exponential company growth, I got a call from some really high up recruiter saying the position had been open to long. Since I hadn't filled the position, it was closing in a week. I responded that for more than I year I've been personally asking her recruiters to send some resumes, but I'm just hearing crickets. So she sent a few. None of them matched my requirements. The most memorable was, 1 was a very good resume from a park ranger. Another was from someone with more than 10 years of experience as an optometrist. I was managing the maintenance department! I needed people with skills in, carpentry, construction, plumbing, HVAC, security, mechanics, etc. lol.
I'm sad that there are enough people in this line of work that BP thinks there should be a listicle for it. It sounds miserable
People should know that recruiters don't make any decisions concerning the job description, the pay, who actually gets hired or if a job is posted or not etc. All of that is what other people decide. Recruiters only sort through the candidates based on the requirements the hiring manager gives them and put you through to the hiring manager after screening. All those haters of recruiters have no idea what recruiters actually do. Of course a few bad eggs exist. But in reality they have no power over anything during the hiring process. They're just search dogs. They get a rug to sniff and told to run and look for the scent and bring back what they find. In my last job as a trainer and quality manager I had to support HR and recruitment. I finally understood that those positions are only the executive organs, they don't get to decide what to do. That's a managers job. They're just scapegoats that the managers use to hide behind so they don't have to deal with us.
Dear recruiters, please stop using the word "engineer" for every position.
