Planet Green Search

I applied for a design job with this “staffing agency” in April 2016. I had previously sworn to NEVER respond to any job advertised through one of these sleazy “staffing agencies,” hence I have only myself to blame for the treatment I received. One week after applying, I received this half-assed-ly composed email: 


My response: “This is pathetic. Unless you can give me explicit legitimate feedback as to why, with my two decades of experience, I was not even worthy of so much as a telephone screening, I am going to conclude that either (1) you dismissed me based on my age, or (2) this 'job' is completely fake (and shame on me for breaking my own rule to never waste time with 'recruitment firms').”
