On November 14, 2014, I received an email from a recruitment agency, The
Judge Group, regarding a six-month contract position with Citizens in
Providence. My initial
reaction was to tell them they contacted the wrong person because the title in
the summary was "Business Analyst." Here is the full job description:
This description alone should have warned me I was dealing with
confused souls -- seriously, this is clearly a design job...but, no, they want
a business person...but then, they don't want a business person, they want a
designer...but then, no, they don't want a designer, they want a business
person...I spoke to the woman who emailed me; I pointed out the goofy job title
and she said they have since realized they do indeed need a creative person for
the role. After some back/forth regarding my one-year employment gap (and
demanding my references which they need to contact before even submitting me --
I flat out said "hell, no" to that), she agreed to submit me, which
she supposedly did on November 18. The next day, I received the following email
from her: "I wanted to let you know that Citizens is going to due to
limited experience on the business side." Yeah, she didn't proof her
message for grammar, I'm guessing the missing word here is
"decline," but anyways...what sort of stupid excuse is this to reject
me? Design IS a business and I have been working in the business world since 1986 (I have a BS in business administration).
Luckily, I did not expect a different outcome; it was more a wager of
how stupid would the reason given be for disqualifying me.
