Story time: a long time ago when I was looking for a job I decided to apply to a job that seemed cool to me. Nothing extraordinary until I decided to test a new tactic : calling them to be sure they received my cv and maybe try to present myself to them.
I found somebody from the departement and called her, it goes approximately like that:
« Hi Ms, I’m X calling for the job offer »
« Hi X, Which job offer are you talking about? »
« It’s to become marketing assistant »
« That’s not possible I’m the only marketing officer here and I am not aware of any job offer »
« Really sorry maybe I have the wrong business, am I calling Y? I have Mister AH as person of contact on the job offer. »
« That’s my boss, and that’s my job »
Follow a minute of being extremely mad on her side and completely ashamed on mine. It’s that day that I started to understand that most business don’t give a fuck about you and are, most of the time, stupid enough to try those kind of aberration.
