“Bath office. Discrimination and lies”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Montsy on 07/01/2014

I have been applying for a number of "Reed" jobs in the past 3 months, always for jobs in which my profile fits perfectly.
I am a Spanish national, with a University degree in Marketing, with extended experience in Accounts and Customer Services and have a Proficiency Certificate in English language by the British Council. My software skills are: Windows suite, Office, Word, Excel, Access, VM, Lotus Notes, SAP, Master ASP, PCF and SAGE.
I have a UK NI number, drivers license, own transport and loads of referees. I am currently in Exeter, but I am ready to relocate immediately when offered the right job and I always state the relocation ability in my Cover Letters.

Today I got one of those "unfortunately in this occasion" emails from a guy, a Permanents Consultant at the Bath office regarding the position Account Coordinator (Spanish / English) and I called him to get some feedback. I wanted to know the reason why he didn´t forward my CV to the employer.
His answer was that I live in Exeter and the position is based in Bath!!!! And then I asked him if he read my Cover Letter and the relocation bit. He answered that there were over 20 applicants who live in Bath, all of them speaking native Spanish and with a sound career as Account Coordinator (Spanish / English)!!!!!! What a cheek!!!!

I am very upset by the behaviour of this feller. Why should he discriminate my CV if I want to relocate? Why is a lier with no scruples playing God instead of admitting he failed to read my Cover Letter?
Why we job seekers have to swallow all their rubbish? Why cannot we expose all those useless pretenders? They live from us, don´t they? After all, if we would not apply for jobs and provide them with our details to play or trade with, they´ll be jobless, will they not?
I do generalise about "Consultants" because the majority seem to be clones of one another.
