Contacted on my private mobile number by a CAT so-called "Senior Recruiter". The Sr. Recruiter did not leave a message and only hung up when prompted. I phoned the number back out of curiosity only to hear a thick foreign accent on the other end from a Texas area code phone. I immediately realized that this is either a miscall or a telemarketing situation. The individual phoned back immediately and began inquiring about my job situation. Before I could finish any sentence, he was on to the next question for his call purpose. He began reading from a job description, even pausing to ask me if I had experiences in acronyms that as a professional PMP, I'm not aware of what they are since they aren't within scope of my work. Here's an example of how the conversation played, only with the thickest foreign Middle Eastern accent you can imagine, "Do you have COPT experience?" My reply: " Well, COPT isn't an acronym in my field of study, I suppose it might be related to Business Analysis. What does it.?" - cut off by the so-called Sr. Technical Recruiter - "Do you have Casualty & Property experience?" My reply:" Yes. Only 20 years"- cut off by the so-called Sr. Technical Recruiter - "What is your salary requirement?" My reply: "Well it depends on if they are requiring PMP or Agile certification. Which is" - cut off by the so-called Sr. Technical Recruiter - "How many years experience in project management do you have?"- Me: Hang up. Then, then the flood of emails began. This has got to be the rudest, most unprofessional wannabe included recruiter to ever phone me. Stay away from Shawn Spicer (LOL...and my name Makeesh Patel) with a Texas area code claiming to be from CAT Technologies, Although the company is based in NJ with headquarters in India, this minion is swampy and was obviously handed a script and told to NOT come into their NJ office for a reason.... we now know why. read more
