I went for a fourth interview at Aon today. I didn't actually expect a call back considering I had said that I already had a job offer (did not mention that i had already signed a contract). Again though, glad i did. Was expecting a call back this afternoon. Hasn't happened yet.
I am also now going to add 'Recruiter' to my resume! No kidding, its a tough job. We put an ad up for a junior level version of me (so potentially a grad). Within the first hour, my director had received over 100 applications. W T F.
And they were all useless. Not one was outstanding. I phoned about 10 today and...
I couldn't understand them.
They were either Chinese or from another country.
They are all doing some Masters of Accounting in a second-rate University.
They don't have pure accounting experience.
They don't have a CA/CPA yet they are studying for a masters.
They don't have the eloquence needed for a refined resume.
They all say they have advanced excel skills. WTF WTF WTF. Even I don't have that in my resume!!!
And another funny thing that happened today was this guy that was previously my recruiter (when i was an AA) called me up to ask if we needed help with the recruitment process! Knew that I was moving on and that Nick had moved on also. I was like.. how do you know that? Small world. People talk. I knew it from the beginning. Glad i got out.
And there goes my friday.
It's going to be a new chapter for the history books on Monday. New finance team pretty much. I'm so happy ive 5 days left. I haven't figured how much it wears me down until now.
No one wants to brunch with me tomorrows so wendie said she'll cook me brunch instead. mmmm poached eggs, spinach and mushrooms.
