I don't know anyone's circumstances that make them unique, but for me I would never put myself on a pedestal complaining about poor ole me.It's always stated put yourself in a displaced persons shoes,& then give opinions not just toward the poor ole me job seeker but with respect to recruiters.I don't think majority of people enjoy sitting & talking about themselves in a negative aspect.
It’s been spoken about the negativity shown and how unhealthy it is, but it's a time waster so no one has to face the fact that they should be looking for something. Well, in that same aspect recruiters respond with negativity also. There's nothing positive coming from recruiters or HR's that signifies anything other than people of this status are lousy people persons (not directed at anyone personally, just a generalized statement) and don't like people unless it's the perfect person they obtain the resume from where they don't have to do much leg work because it's all there for them in the resume. Job seekers on the other hand are edgy. It doesn’t make it any easier for the recruiter. As far as for recruiters it just seems to come across when talking with them as they're looking for the perfect resume, the perfect interview, the perfect person, now give me my dollars so I can find the next trophy.In reality I know you have to look for the perfect person for the position you're filling, but it's the smug attitude. However, it literally works both ways actually. No ones happy. But let's face it as humans we are all looking for the perfection that makes our jobs easier.
I see job seekers as sores, I see recruiters as medicine and band-aids applied to sores. There's an epidemic out there and if there's anything I think anyone can get out of a conversation like this; it might be that job seekers look up to recruiters and need their professionalism to help them. If it weren’t for the complaints and the poor ole me syndrome people would already have the perfection in their lives and wouldn't have to turn to the "professionals" to help them cure the sore. Sometimes comments get heated and some probably are taken personal, but consider the job seeker a small baby, and the recruiter the mommy. You get a lot of crying from a small baby, and that's their way of saying I need help from mommy to come running and assist.
I would like to learn more as I continue my bout toward employment how people handle situations to get past the issues of likes and dislikes about job-seekers and recruiters instead of "well, this happened to me". I like solutions.
For myself, I don't seek employment because I need to; I seek it because I enjoy working. That does make me unique. Fishing and cutting grass does get old. Not to mention I didn’t leave my previous job due to economic conditions, I left because of ailing parents and the ability to assist and help out in a situation whereas others had been caring for them and I had to do something to contribute. I agree with in discussions whereas no one owes anyone anything. The me syndrome is definitely prominent in today's society. I personally have talked to 3 recruiters in my lifetime. I’m definitely one of those that seek out the decision maker and follow the path of allowing me to speak with them directly. I’ve been successful in some aspects as well as not so successful in others. I believe we work hard for what we get including the next job. Charm, personality, credentials, professionalism and persistence to me is what gets you noticed.
