They're either here on a visit visa to look for a job (a big percentage of our 'tourist' arrivals I suspect are job-seekers) or are employed and simply want a change.<BR/><BR/>HMHB, yep, I think that was the answer - if you can't fill the position by recommendation then make the applicants turn up in person to hand in ther CV.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-1157268653690444092006-09-03T11:30:00.000+04:002006-09-03T11:30:00.000+04:00Seabee: I think Trailing Spouse has hit on a truly...Seabee: I think Trailing Spouse has hit on a truly winning idea. This is quite an eye-opening story, and confirms that we were right in not advertising for jobs when we started up but relied on word of mouth and referrals.<BR/><BR/>HMHBhalfmanhalfbeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04578801186226557125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-1157243737088497172006-09-03T04:35:00.000+04:002006-09-03T04:35:00.000+04:00'A room full of champions will not beat a champion...'A room full of champions will not beat a champion team, which is what you try to do do when building a sales team. Pointless having a room full of prima donnas all working to their own ends. What suprises me is not only the obvious lack of talent, but the number of replies, one can only presume a very high rate of umemployment. Having dealt with a number of salespeople here on the Central Coast in New South Wales, one can only wonder where these people did their training. Casual and cavalier of manner, very much a take or leave it Jack, attitude. But I suppose that standards in everything have been deriorating for some time. Do you remember when Policemen and British Guardsmen were around 6 feet and more, tall.? If many of them are above five feet six inches I would be suprised. Just another example of where the standards have dropped.cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190524422382407493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-1157204711918921742006-09-02T17:45:00.000+04:002006-09-02T17:45:00.000+04:00Unfortunately I think we have to blame the interne...Unfortunately I think we have to blame the internet for a lot of this . . . it's just too easy to spam resumes around every job ad in the paper. <BR/><BR/>I wonder what would happen if you advertised a job and said all resumes had to be delivered by hand? Might weed out the film buff!trailingspousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423750400387682863noreply@blogger.com
