I am a recruiter for my agency and I have to tell you that I stand or sit , in amazement at the applicants that I get, you have hit the nail squarely.
The people who are never available at the numbers they list, the crappy music on the cell phones as you wait for the crappy person to answer, the email names from some other planet, or better yet the ones that do show up for the interview in wife beater shirt and baggy shorts and flip flops, or that show up in a shirt that was ironed with a rock, and what is with the little goat-tee or just the not shaved look for several days, I mean give me a break, I had a 19 year old bring his mom to an interview, all these are for govt jobs where you carry a gun for a living...........
