A graduate wrote me an email on Friday. It said the following, in the exact sense: [‘afternoon mr, fufi im still waiting for your respond coz you receive my cv. kind regards'] I was still biting my lip, and trying to calm down, when I opted to read the next email. The next email which I read was from the employer. I was being asked to arrange the interviews for two candidates. One of them is the very applicant whose email to me you have just read. The interviews are taking place this week. My anxiety was getting worse as I was thinking about this situation. 1. Must I proceed to send this candidate to the interview without saying a word, which is to say throwing her to the wolves? 2. Must I correct the applicant by teaching her a proper way of writing emails before I give her information about the interview? What do you think I should have done?
The blog is about jobs and job opportunities; about what the recruiters want and are hoping for; about what the applicants/ candidates want and are hoping for. The blog is also about what goes on during the process of recruitment and placement, and the stories about the employers and applicants/ candidates from which we can learn from.
