  72             <p>Sorry, I guess I need to vent. One of my biggest complaints as of late is so<br />
  73 called "professionalism". You know, you call up some support group and you're<br />
  74 trying to get things straightened out, frustrated from being on hold for 20-30<br />
  75 minutes navigating the voice mail call menus (there are apps to assist for that<br />
  76 so this is not just me!), trying to fix a problem that was basically caused<br />
  77 because company A fucked up and you're now fixing their problem. You utter <br />
  78 something like "Fuck you mean I need to wait for 4-6 weeks for this to be fixed!!!"<br />
  79 and they retort with something like "Sir, please! Be professional". You know what<br />
  80 asshole! Being professional is about actions not words. Your actions were <br />
  81 unprofessional thus causing me strife and frustrating resulting in me blowing<br />
  82 off steam and uttering the word "FUCK", which you've heard a million times before<br />
  83 and you know what is going on here. Look if you were fucking squeaky clean then,<br />
  84 and only then, you might have a point but you don't.</p>
  85
  86 <p>Recruiters are the worse - especially Indian recruiters fresh off the boat! Typical<br />
  87 things that I encounter are things like a recruiter will call me up, apparently <br />
  88 not be able to hear me well (or so they claim) then they hang up. Literally hang<br />
  89 up on me. Do they call me back? No. Do they call and leave a message? No. Can I<br />
  90 call them up? Sometimes. Other times I get a message saying "This Magic Jack <br />
  91 subscriber is not here" or it's a general number and I need to know their <br />
  92 extension. Well I don't know their extension BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FUCKING BOTHER<br />
  93 TO LEAVE A DAMN MESSAGE! Or I get to their voice mail and their mailbox is full.</p>
  94
  95 <p>Think about this - a business who depends on being able to communicate with<br />
  96 the candidates and they do not have a way to take a fucking message, they do<br />
  97 not have the professional business courtesy to leave a fucking message nor <br />
  98 insure that they can be contacted. They've left a dead end trail. No, I'm not<br />
  99 the fucking unprofessional one - you are.</p>
 100
 101 <p>Then you have things like this <a href="https://www.ziprecruiter.com/ojob/50feb857b4c56bcc613b9be1e535ea5d?u=e7ATHjqi_6u95ZN3U9gF0g6mRifuYqBUz5OyYrWniZFfLFZpVOjIYxvIrn3V5bbxh3D_ZfKFxtfuhAgb5vEK717KnZEl5uhByVZ5pc99N6Lk58ZMMJq6OaB25SIcnKu3CSJGBKUV4nfZlRGT0qEqfFKebeQVN7IdPZEiQ3u1sbPgsgn0lAYnI0UCO2Pd3yoRLXeA0Px6kFJZAcupDvN4rvhNdNrbcqAzAKdXBxGevqKbQhv2JFOGy7fxHPB0vBUMcPhtHdkMFDM2SRWENeHtZ7zkKPh2wo2ZgOIyWQ0tW70nLywu_K3G8uj3j5_7--gYIZjKGOJfkrlnzrqrifwGnp4879-i6Hph8TI7pymWeCPZAKAGHSrhKA-gHf8gShNoguOxGZdowM_FlUZfgaXAcTUjNabDaFhUfZcvRHrZmENF8OXMve7VgPAhl1OO7lhZwum7zPdYOtJrQWMphj_J0RAz72s2Eqz-Gmftljk2GLVuuNsWMmlDxaFS12FGO4J9n9vVPLndiUTp38EJ1r2pzenI9gt6A0kQPKR35E9bCFojNYvVBj4PgDhUJxppz9dsQyAvsNjEqPRnAMCOMxnGkunuxl4zi72QIB-4ZatpMN1_pZSFkLmWBS081xoxoC55oho609CANvPjFJxDrrlDEESMrplEJg16xtwqp1_GlgoaQ4_0u1o7Lr88IrP6nuY1GsdDvCkM-arKf353dkjQQo5fz21mbFWNERkQoW_TNELSPIfejwjyUMtt7AZtBANItZibcipdOCi3Nl0DqcP3Ku2cGyhomXQW6RiXh6w9A_vnJc5aOhBOGxS_f25eDskUs8NkhUROBUdrYg97CaaoZJx1RG25rNZoRPa-W68_q2am-Gx5pGLPhs6WDqMg3S5UiVASgguJQAH1iTb15A5Z__utwvpH08CgSY-zrg1gBWIpUNoN4zisUSmxPjEKfUM6TixfEd2RqXZ3Qqr-o9u3G8GlSZO3liyi72JUzb8k-oLTyeJX574GoRaKU1UzJnlGY6A5ppLfB5udxqyh6kSwPYaaJIDH7CBvgKt4qQV0I2VzeYKuMf1ZHx_mk3rGvgFeNq1-WyeotMFq3S_rzd5Vyg" title="Zip Recruiter Link">Zip Recruiter link</a>, <br />
