Just got an email from PSE Recruitment : "Dear ---, I have personally head hunted your CV and have been requested to approach you." Well now isn't that special...I'm anticipating with glee the all-ecompassing full service offer that lies ahead. "Our client has an immediate requirement for a ROV Supervisor, UHD Schilling Robotic, 5 week rotation, starting 1st August in the Congo."
I've composed a canned response to the mass cv collectors :
"Thank you for your offer. There are several other agencies that have applied to represent me to the client for this position. In order to help me make a sound business decision please provide the following info :
What is the maximum day rate net to contractor for this contract that can be offered through your agency?
What is the minimum percentage of the day rate offered from the client that your agency is willing to accept for services rendered?
Will you sign an agreement to represent myself to the client as your most qualified and vetted candidate for this position?
Upon favorable review of your response I will agree to having you act as my sole reperesentative in regards to this post. You will receive a packet of my certs, medical, passport scan, updated cv, folder of recent Performance Evaluations, personal and professional references, innoculations, job history matrix, and cover letter specific to this project. Thank you for your consideration."
Nine of ten times there will be no response, but just maybe there will be one who will take the time to make the attempt at customer service. He/she can then prove knowledge of the business and ability to secure a contract by personal effort and performance.
Well, we all must have a dream eh?
