I've had to do this countless times, but it really isn't an HR job. It says something about the Omani education system lacking career preparation and counselling.Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141281059998464389.post-58359856815289504232010-12-04T12:32:54.845+04:002010-12-04T12:32:54.845+04:00MHR – I think you underestimate these job hunters....MHR – I think you underestimate these job hunters. If someone writes, ‘I am applying for suitable position with your company, as my experiences will enable me to perform diligently and execute assignments in time and professionally’ they know that you know they have no idea what they have written and have no intention, should they be selected, of performing diligently or executing anything in a timely or professional manner. It is a mere ruse that will allow them to spend an hour or two in your office after the closing date bitching and moaning at not being selected due to their lack of wasta, complaining about their lack of training and poor promotion prospects and hoping you might feel sorry for them and re-write their CV or perhaps have a word with Mr X at company Y.Mr. Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359413203368109934noreply@blogger.com
