My work day

Some highlights of my work today:

1. We need to be gender sensitive.

Received a resume of a lovely girl. Long silky hair, nice big eyes. Nice. Only problem is, how am I suppose to tell my client that she served NS for 2.5 years? We were like, could it be she worked as a clerk there? I mean, maybe a female volunteer? Quick glance of a profile... hmmmm ok, everything is there except the gender.

We are casting lots now - still deciding who to call her to verify it.

2. Aren't you shocked?

I was on the line with a candidate and this is what has taken place:

Bunster: Ok, it was great to have spoken to you. Would be great if you could just tell me what's your current salary and your expected?

Candidate: Hmmmm can I not tell you?

Bunster: Why is that so? This would enable me to filter the level of work and also the types of job to recommend to you.

Candidate: Because it would SHOCK you.

Bunster: Hmmmm Ok...

Candidate: ...

Bunster: It would be great if you could fill up the details. It enable me to present you to my client.

Candidate: Ok, it's... hmmm it's...

Bunster: Preparing to be shocked - like (*&*T&^%&%V IHATEYOUFOREARNINGSOMUCHYOUASSHOLE...(*&*^*

Candidate: $4-$4.5K per month.

Bunster: What's so shocking about that?!!!?

I mean, are you shocked? SHOCKED? SHOCKED?
