I have been stressed with work not because of the company but because of the crazy inconsiderate applicants that I have had. It is as if a lot of the applicants do not have a sense of business ethics. They make an appointment and then cancel it right after missing it???? What the heck is that?? What company in their right mind would hire someone that is irresponsible with even the simple task as properly informing us ahead of time let alone committing to something that you know you can't go to.
I even get those candidates that make excuses which I have prayed isn't true. Like their relatives or family member just died or got sick. But when you check again they give you a different excuse???? That is just downright Insane!
They don't even read the policies of their application. That if they confirm for an interview and do not properly advise the company that they can't make it, their profile gets black listed on the site they applied through - Such site is Jobstreet.com and JobsDB.com. A lot of the candidates fail to see that and just apply and dont really care about what they are applying for.
That also puzzles me - their location. They see that the job posting is for Metro Manila (assuming that they read the job post) and yet they apply knowing that they live somewhere else in the world and God knows they cant make it anytime within the next couple of months for any interview. It just ads to the stress of those that are trying really hard to help those that really want and deserve the job.
So for all you job seekers out there and you get to read this - please take note that this is one of the most common stresses that a recruiter goes through as we look and search for the people that are looking for jobs and trying our hardest to match them to the profiles that our accounts and companies are looking for. We all have a deadline and if you make it hard for us to meet that then that is going to have its toll on both the interviewer and that applicants.
