Out of Office

I got an email at about 7pm last night from a recruiter about a web-development job based in York. Now, OK, I’m not interested in it (for many – and obvious – reasons) but I figure that if they’re still trying to put me in jobs in York, perhaps it’s an agency I haven’t updated (in two years) about my current situation/location. The job’s a fairly urgent start, with interviews next Tuesday and Wednesday.
So I send a reply email – to the email sent just last night, remember – with an updated CV attached, and get an “out of office” response to it.
I’m out of the office until Wednesday 10th January
So – spot the flaw in this – you’re advertising a job for interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday, but you’re not back in the office ’til Wednesday?
Bizarre.
They’re fishing for CVs. Then they use the contact information on your CV to cold call the companies you have worked for. This is what scum sucking bottoms feeder do!
