“Reed (Milton Keynes)”

written by Designguy on 14/08/2012

I have applied for several jobs with reed and find them completely useless.

The women in charge of design jobs doesn't know anything about design yet still sits and talks down to you like your an idiot.

I applied for 1 job in marketing design and spoke to a reed rep on the phone who asked me if i had any experience with design and when i said yes she didn't believe me and gave me the skeptical voice and said she would give it some consideration whether i was right for the job. I've been in design for 20 years and she had a copy of my CV.

I got a call back from her and she said in a very threatening tone, "After our conversation earlier today I've decided not to put your CV forward and this will be noted on your record with us". If i had said anything rude or with an attitude i would understand but for the entire conversation i only said "Yes i do" and "Ok then, bye!".

Also i should add that since that phone call i applied for at least 15 other jobs listed on there website and never got any calls from them so i suspect she blacklisted me on the reed system. Eventually i applied for 1 position on the Reed website but also sent my CV to the employer directly and the employer offered me the job a few days later. I asked the office admin and my CV was never sent to this company by Reed.
