    Answer to the lesson for Caterpillar...

    The first thing he said to the recruiter was 'I'm so pleased you called, I've submitted over 100 applications with an single call back.....'

    The phone went dead.

    What's the lesson?
    The lesson:-

    The agent was a c**k and it was a waste of time in the first instance... if it really is a genuine version of events then once the agent knew the person on the phone had no 'leads' to give away the conversation was worthless.

    My own extensive market experience has taught me this, and no amount of personal coaching can make a job out of nothing, if there is no job in the first place.

    HTH.
    The cycle of life: born > learn > work > learn > dead.

    That was a swift deletion.

    My reply in the deleted thread here, for his benefit:
    Less overt spammery, Luke.

    Oh, and fewer eye-killing dayglo orange toutsites with nauseating self-quoting and token effort blogs. Good luck with the cycle tour though. I almost did the Paris ride myself.

    PS: Why have bloated embedded styles, then paste rubbish from MS Word into DreamWeaver/Frontpage with inline mso styling? Fire your web developer.

    I'm in a good mood, me.

    Oh, and I love the sideburns/fangs combo.

      What support do business/life coaches need right now?

      I knew a business coach who spammed 1 bulletin board over a period of 10 minutes.

      The first thing he said was something ridiculously patronising.

      The thread went dead.

      What's the lesson?

        Oh, yes! Well done the mods.
