The Canadian Headhunter has one of my favorite pet peeves: Why on earth do parents call me on behalf of their children? Do they not understand that I’m not interested in working with anyone who lacks initiative to the point that Mommy or Daddy have to call me?
This happens more often than you’d think. We even had a woman call on behalf of her husband, send his resume from his email address, and then get angry when we replied to that email address, thus tipping him off to the call and hurting his pride.
You know what would make his pride feel better? Getting off his ass and calling us himself.
Hey, I like your new look. Dramatic contrast and yet relaxing, solid colours at the same time.
