I've decided to go home for the day, since nothing can possibly top reading this. :)

Sandra, you are MY HERO.

Maybe I should write one entitled "cheap crap job search coaches use to promote themselves".

Naw, not worth the bandwidth. Too obvious!

Some good points, Sandra! I tried to comment on that post but I guess I wasn't special enough. It is bad enough to have click through a bunch of times to get to someone's "article", then try and comment (but the author needs to moderate), but then have to read his replies to responses that weren't even up yet...

The ultimate in how to be an irritating ass. :). I think you are pretty special Amber, never could understand what kind of paranoia causes people to have a need to moderate comments but what can one expect from someone who has 30k LinkedIn connections and publically tells folks he may have delete them in order to take more. I would bet our buddy Phil has lots of mirrors in his office and likes daffodils.

Thank you Sandra, you are my hero. Anything else I do today will pale in comparison to you.

Comment by Amber on June 13, 2012 at 3:00pm

If the information was relevant and legitimate I wouldn't even mind the clickback. Oh, and if the person is a least open to letting people say what they want without moderation.

And thanks, Sandra - not "special", I hope, lol!

daffodils?

@Bill in mythology Narcissus stared at his own reflection in the pool until he turned into a daffodil or a narcissus as some are know today or a narcissist.  :)

 

@Casey, no hero stuff, :)  When you have spent years in recruiting i will hope that you will carry on my legacy of calling BS on this kind of stuff long after i have ceased to tap out "this is garbage" on my keyboard.  Passing the torch, if you will.  :)

 

@Amber, I had that "special" thought myself.  LOL.  Somebody thinks they are "special"  but it ain't you and me..

let's go get a drink. The whole database thing drives me nuts anyway. Once they are in the system, there is nothing you can do. The company loses. This might be a person who would be value to the company. The HR rule about 'their candidates', hurts the company who desperatly needs to fill the job. HR doesn't know it, because they haven't lived it. Collecting resumes on the internet is not recruiting. Candidates don't know any better.

Would you look at that, The link to Phil's web site has been stripped off his post so he can't use RBC to promote himself.  But being a dirty rotten trick kind of a personage he posted a live link to his site in his comments on his blog.  The lengths some folks will go to for free advertising is worth noting.  Give it up Phil, you cheap bastard, you are going to get to pay for an ad one way or the other.  Please Noel and Tim, send this clown an invoice for putting his link in his comments after it was removed from the top of the blog.  Or just get rid of him and let him go use somebody else.  Obviously he does not respect your notice about advertorials.

 

@Barb, drinks are on me.  :)
