hi mr recruiter who called me on my phone today and left a message about how you found my résumé on careerbuilder.com i got your voicemail but you talked so damn fast i can’t even understand anything other than where you saw my résumé and that you were calling me about it but again you talked so damn fast and you paused for only one breath and so i have no idea what company you’re calling from except you have a gaithersburg phone exchange and that’s about it thanks a bunch for calling though but i’d really prefer to look up your organization online before i try calling you back so i did some searching and found the phone number online and i’m finding things that seem to indicate that you’re either with a spanish catholic center or the catholic charities of washington dc or who knows what but i also found a message online where someone said they got a call from your number about an office position in california and when they would try to call back they would just get mumbled at and hung up on or an answering machine but like i said you talked so damn fast you haven’t really told me anything at all so someone needs to work on their telephone skills and slow down a bit and take a breath so folks can understand what’s going on and i don’t think it’s me kthx bye.
