So now my life has hit a major age milestone – and I apparently become an official fucking dinosaur for adland – I’m guessing this is why I received this random correspondence on Linkedin recently …
Now I appreciate I really, really, really love my cat … but I have to say, I don’t know if I have all the skills or qualities required to become a professional vet recruiter.
Quite frankly, I don’t think anyone who loves their pet wants me to become a professional vet recruiter.
Though I have asked for more details … hahahaha.
[Still haven’t heard back from him yet though]
That said, with Leonel’s lateral thinking approach to his job, maybe he would be better suited to working in adland than pet-care-by-proxy. He’s certainly more qualified than I am … probably – and sadly – in either job.
I don’t know about you but I’m impressed.
And very, very scared.

Maybe you could put animals to sleep by reading them strategy decks you’ve written? Maybe that’s not humane.

Comment by andy@cynic July 6, 2020 @ 6:34 pmI know people say sales is a numbers game, but this is impressive.
Comment by George July 6, 2020 @ 6:50 amAlso known as the linkedin recruiter strategy.
Comment by Pete July 6, 2020 @ 7:11 amIsn’t that the truth. The amount of recruitment people who have either reached out to me about jobs I am totally not suitable for or asked me for names of people they should reach out – thus doing their job for them – is incredible.
Comment by Rob July 6, 2020 @ 7:36 amYou answer them back don’t you?
Comment by George July 6, 2020 @ 7:44 amAs you say Rob, it’s more innovative thinking than a lot of media people I know would have suggested.
Comment by Pete July 6, 2020 @ 7:13 amIf a media strategist suggested this approach you would be calling me to tell me about the worst media strategy recommendation you’d ever had.
Comment by George July 6, 2020 @ 7:27 amGeorge for the win.
Comment by Rob July 6, 2020 @ 7:37 amFair.
Comment by Pete July 6, 2020 @ 7:55 amPete for the loss.
Comment by Bazza July 6, 2020 @ 8:22 amThanks for the support Baz.
Comment by Pete July 6, 2020 @ 9:05 amI admire the lateral thinking, but that doesn’t mean you can do any old shit and claim you’re thinking ‘out the box’ … which is a phrase that aways bugs me, because it is the most cliched way of saying you’re being original.
Or maybe that’s just me.
Comment by Rob July 6, 2020 @ 7:38 amNot just you.
Comment by George July 6, 2020 @ 7:45 amThe recruitment industry is the worst thing ever created. It has no redeeming features.
Comment by John July 6, 2020 @ 9:46 amthey make car sales and double glazing pricks look decent.
Comment by andy@cynic July 6, 2020 @ 12:53 pmand I thought adland was fucking desperate.

Comment by andy@cynic July 6, 2020 @ 12:51 pmExactly Andrew.
Comment by George July 6, 2020 @ 3:10 pm[…] fine to have shady recruiters taking money from their clients to spam anyone they can get to. It’s fine to have men use their site to hit on women. It’s fine to pretend […]
