Demanding job candidate sends rude messages to employer

Friday, Apr 19, 2013

 

While most job candidates try their best to be polite and courteous in front of their potential hirers, one particular applicant in Singapore does not seem to care if he offended his reviewer at all.

 

According to a Stomp contributor, the candidate was rude in text messages and demanded to be given directions to the interview.

 

The candidate also did not bother to watch his grammar and spelling while typing the messages to his potential employer.

 

In the end, the interview was called off as the employer felt that the applicant's rude behaviour was not something he could put up with.

 

Here is the original contribution posted on Stomp:

 

A Stomp contributor was surprised to see that a candidate who was contacted for a job interview replied to the potential employer through text messages in broken English, in which he demanded to know the directions to the office.

 

Stomp contributor K wondered if this was how members of the younger generation responded to potential employers.

 

K elaborates:

 

"Is this how one talks when trying to arrange an interview with a potential employer?

 

"Is it alright to use such bad English and demand to be taught how to go to a certain place?

 

"Is this how the younger generation goes for an interview?"

the problem with some of them is they think they world owes them a job and probably everything in life.

[Vectrasonic]

Gd luck to them!

sounds like a malaysian actually....

 

it actually points more to a lack of education than a lack of courtesy.

Is this how employers now

 

invite candidates to interviews?

 

By SMS?

 

Very professional!

 

This employer gets candidates they really deserve.

 

I am not sure why they are complaining.

The trouble with employers is that they think

 

people are begging them for a job.

 

Anyone or any company that says its very

 

hard to find good staff just needs to take

 

a long and hard look at themselves to

 

find the reason why.

we dun know, by looking at the first message, it could be the employer call the candidate and she missed the call, hence the message to the caller.

I have one friend who says that usually the first response is "How much you pay ah". Don't take the time to ask about the job details, explain why they are interested and why they would like this job.

 

And the sms from the guy above, why not show some initiative? If you can't work out how to get to the location, use google! First impressions count and I would have done the same as this employer.

recently got one newly joined left our company also shortly. when asked why, she say the company environment serious, doesn't fit her.

 

they kind of expect the job environment to fit the candidate rather than the candidate fit into the environment

Once I called a candidate to come for interview, she said email her my company address. I said forget it, I don't take instruction from her.

lets be honest on this.. how many of you apply for a job without first knowing the job details?

in interview, a lot of time we are just wayang and ask if not look bad on us.

it's an I, me, myself mentality nowadays with the younger generation. and instant gratification.

I'd be amazed

 

if you got an interview

 

Just

 

kidding.

That's a bit overboard lah...

 

I'll just send the address, esp if I really think that candidate could be a good fit.

 

No good worker will wanna join a company that does not think they are valuable.

[Jman888]

i actually thought kids nowadays are quite smart and independent, with all the internet and google, you can find any info you need.

 

but come to things that are not of their interest, they want people to feed them

 

looks staged to me..

To be fair

 

it's an I, me, myself mentality nowadays and instant gratification

 

with the older generation too.
