Job Hunting

My recent tryst with job hunting has been amusingly interesting. Taking a leaf from my advertising experience, I will attempt to cluster the current interviewers...

1. The blissfully clueless ones – These are mostly recruitment consultants (I am a wee bit uncomfortable with ‘head hunters’), who even after having received my resume (and hopefully having glanced through it) come up with strange interview offers. The strangest so far was an offer to get interviewed for the post of ‘Chemical Engineer’. I had the sinister intention of going for the interview, and would have if the office had not been in the other part of the city.
2. The shocked workaholics – Who look at me as if I am from some other planet, having taken off for around 7 months. They inspect me strangely, trying to play Sherlock Holmes, when no crime has been committed.
3. The jealous no-choice workers – Yes, they would have loved this break but did not have it. Poor them!!!
4. The bargainers – A lovely brigade wanting to pay me less for taking the liberty. It’s a free world Mr. Bargainer. And I hope it’s your loss, finally.
5. The wannabe intimidators - Another charming group who definitely under estimate my memory and therefore try to intimidate me about work pressures!

Am enjoying these conversations as much as I am enjoying the sabbatical
