Perhaps you'll adopt this one, then. Clearly, it has no home.

I let that state of affairs frustrate me for a while until I realized that it creates business opportunities for me which are better than being someone’s wage slave.
No this connection is how Beloit got its name. According to folklore and a very good friend who lives in Beloit, Beloit was named by an American Indian chief. It seems he was taking a bath in the Rock River which runs through Beloit and cut a fart. The sound that resulted was "BELOIT". He decided at once, that spot would be named Beloit.
And there you have today's history lesson on the founding and naming of Beloit, Wisconsin.
“Lol. Had a red-dot Indian once tell me over the phone that his name was Eric.”
I’ve had that happen so many times - someone with a heavy Indian accent on the other end says, “Hello, my name is Shawn, and I have a wery special offer for you...”
One of these days I’ll come back with, “Well, hello there, Shawn, I’m Maninderpal.”
I don’t work in IT, but living here in the Silicon Valley I’ve gotten quite a few calls from Indian recruiters. And it seems nearly ALL of them just search CareerBuilder for candidates.
The one time I accepted a job from a recruiter who called me (and btw, he wasn’t Indian) I landed in an absolutely miserable position and for only the second time in my forty-nine years left a job without notice.
But to get back on track, if I get a call and I don’t recognize the phone number (or at least if it isn’t from an area code local-ish to me) I just don’t answer. And on the off chance they leave me voicemail, I don’t respond.
And that reminds me... maybe I need to update my CareerBuilder profile. Last time I did that was about six months ago, when I left that job I was talking about earlier.
On each.
When it becomes apparent they don’t understand English, I start speaking Spanish
LOL!!
Thanks for the giggles anyway (and I hope you score a great job!!) ;-)
RI doesn’t work with effective dating.
There are other ways to enforce RI.
>>Our polygraph and pee test scares off a good percentage of the “locals.”<<
Are they worse than others? More painful? Asparagus required?
>>PeopleSoft is Oracle, though, and Oracle — from what HitechRedneck tells me — is somewhat more forgiving of Dynamic SQL.<<
PS was and is multi-platform so it can’t pre-bind/compile. But yes, Oracle has had great support for dynamic SQL for decades.
All Indian recruiters may not be the same. I think some recruiting firms intentionally hire as recruiters those who do not understand American English. They want mis-comunication. They have families in India paying them to get a job for a family member.
Some of us report that immigrants are willing to take lower wages than Citizens. That is no more true than in the job of recruiter. On my first few IT consulting gigs, 20% to 30% of co-workers were immigrants. But 100% of recruiters were natural born Citizens, African and European ancestry. Now it seems like 90% of recruiters are Indian. They work accept much lower pay than the previous American recruiters. With the low pay, they are often the bottom of the immigrant barrel in terms of English skills, and especially technical skills.
Indeed, some I’ve met seem to take their recruiting job as OJT to learn American English so they then get a better job.
But they are not all like this. My current firm is 95% Indian. I’m their token white male. I’m billable. That is all they seem to care about.
I’ve had both American and Indian recruiters offer to pay me well to go on interviews out-of-town. I told them I’m not interested in out-of-town. Their response is:
That’s OK. You interview well. Once you get the position for us, we will send them someone else who doesn’t interview well. Most of the time they won’t even remember or notice. If they do notice, we’ll make some excuse and they will accept our excuse.
Satyam used to be famous for doing this Indian only. They had a small number of people who had legal papers and interviewed well. They would get the job. Then they would assign the name of the person with legal papers to the unqualified worker. They would have a dozen consultants using the same set of legal papers. They all look alike, you know.
(Indian accent) I accept your offer of dollar one-forty-three per hour. When do I report to work?
When Satyam became headlines, everyone held back for about 6 months. But as best I can tell, the cons are still going on.
Well, I know I personally have been ‘proofed’ before taking tests, and many of the tests seem to be at the interview site now. That’s a good preventative.
I'm not seeing that. 90% of the spam-job calls and emails I get are Indian, but once you use various techniques to deny them access, you get the "old American recruiters" back.
AND AM I THE *ONLY* ONE WHO LIKES CASCADING DELETES?????
Perhaps you'll adopt this one, then. Clearly, it has no home.
Yes, you are. Cascading deletes are a trap.
