Silly Phone Call of the Day

Caller: Hello, this is Arcedia Direct. We’ve seen your CV on the Internet and have one or two roles that may be of interest to you.

Me: Uh huh. (Thinks –  here we go…)

Caller: Are you still looking for work?

Me: Yes. In the rail industry.

Caller: (Puzzled) The rail industry?

Me: (Thinks –  well, you looked closely at that CV, didn’t you?) Yes.

Caller: Well, we are a marketing company. We do sales and marketing. Would that be of interest to you?

Me: (Thinks –  Yeah, right, door to door selling. No chance). No, thankyou…

This is the third time I’ve had this or a similar conversation with these people. I wonder if they will get the message one day?

  1. I also from an agency today and I was almost so surprised I dropped the phone.Why?

    a) They had read my CV in full
    b) They had a job that was suitable and I had the relevant experience for.

    It is unfortunately only 15-20 hours a week but beggars can’t be choosers.

    I still get the ones above though and also ones that think customer support/service officer = Telesales
