Yes, humorous. The article itself is a little over the top, but I can see truth on both sides, lol. Funny thing is, if he had polished his article and not been so blunt nobody would have actually cared. Some of the readers will actually think what he says might be just a bit right and do something different next time they send out a resume. This comment strikes a nerve, though (below, unedited). I honestly felt the same way when I got into recruiting which is (hopefully) why I try to be at least a touch different in my approaches... yet, I still get flamed like this at times. QUOTE I would absolutely LOVE to destroy the recruitment industry, it's nothing but a blood sucking whore with a bunch of zombies in their employ! You go for an interview, get pipped at the post by one other applicant, the recruiter won't ring you back! You ring their office and you get told they're "out", what fucking ever, you just don't want to talk to me because I didn't earn you any commission you shallow fuck! How about giving me some feedback as to why the other guy pipped me at the post? How about telling me what they liked about me, so I can make sure to do it again the next time you ring me up, in a months time, like nothing happened and you weren't an arrogant prick and send me somewhere else?
