The head hunting industry is full of mucking forons. A certain email that I got today from a head-hunter annoyed me plenty for the ( usual reasons )

Dude, Should I remove my post? You're not going to abuse me like this, are you? :-S

appaji October 3 2005, 20:07:12 UTC

Hooooly Shit! :)) But that is a friends only post and since you have only 37 friends it is OK. As long as google doesn't have it, it is OK.

PS: Is the devil in you already planning to nonfriendsonlyfy the post now? :-P

ex_ga_woo October 3 2005, 20:30:57 UTC

Na, I don't plan to make it public. But I will if you want me to. In Hollywood and LJ, any publicity is good publicity :P

Nah, keep it the way you like it :)

OMG..even i get .NET mails!:) It is even more ridiculous for me, coz I have no technical skills atall!:))

The ways of these people :))

But some of these head hunters are Good Professional People (TM). They do the required research and send in email with the right details. I always make it a point to reply indicating that I am not interested at the moment. And they are the people I'll contact for sure if I am looking out.

somebody who had access to the database gave it out (surely not for fun, perhaps for profit)

The Call Center way !!!

This is even worse, because it is from within a group that is _trusted_.

Mucking Forons :-" , Mocking Fermions :-s .
I dont think there are any kids around reading your posts, you might consider swearing properly :-D

appaji October 4 2005, 18:17:37 UTC

Yes, I might as well do it, now that the 'kids' reading my journal have figured it out :P I was no saint in the the portions behind the lj-cut anyway.

aveerah October 4 2005, 19:07:36 UTC

Tumba sorry, missed reading that part before. kids *_* !!

Totally agree. There was a time I was looking out, and I used to get so annoyed to see mails for technical profiles when I have zero tech knowledge.

appaji October 4 2005, 19:05:52 UTC

Some of these head-hunters are good professionals though. But I've had more bad experiences than good ones.
