How to not impress me…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

When you work for a consulting company and are looking to recruit me, please, by all means, ignore everything that is on my online profile about how I’m not looking for a temporary position, argue with me about what a “temporary” position means, (“No no, this is a six month contract and then they might want to hire you.” How is that not a temp position?) and be chewing gum so loudly that I have to struggle just to understand what the hell you’re saying anyway. That will absolutely make me want to work for your company! Grr…

Of course I could also complain about the fact that you can see what I do now, what makes you think I want to sit at a help desk and answer phones all day long?

    You want to work in IT? You might want to stretch first, so you can stay nimble. I have a long list of projects that need done this week. That list changed twice yesterday, one project being moved to next week, and another being added to this week. Today, that added project has been postponed…
