I'm glad I'm not the only one. Not trying to be mean or anything but when he
sounds like Apu from the Simpsons I really don't listen to what they are saying.
So...
I hope I'm not offending anyone, but at what point do you simply not
respond to a recruiter if there's an obvious language barrier? I'm
just curious if anyone else has a rule of thumb they use, because I
just got an email from a recruiter asking me to revert back
positively ... with the resume and the rate, indicating that he's
confused the definition of reply or possibly respond and revert.
It seems like now more than any other time that I've looked for a job,
the majority of the recruiters I talk to are some variety of
(middle)eastern (I'm guessing mostly Indian, although of course I
don't ask) with varying degrees of either accent or language barrier.
I really don't want to come across as being insensitive, but some of
these people (a good number of them actually) speak english over the
phone so poorly that it takes several iterations of a word or phrase
before I understand what they're trying to say, and it really makes me
wonder how they've even been hired in a recruiting capacity by
companies seeking english-speaking workers.
My current job search seems to be nearing its end, so I'm not liable
to need to worry about it for hopefully several years now, I'm just
curious what other people's thoughts are on the subject.
