Telephone Etiquette

Last evening,  while I was busy with a client call, my cellphone started ringing…some local land line number on display, I rejected the call. The very next moment it ringed again displaying a cell number. Again I declined…it ringed again… I sought excuse from my client and picked the call…

“hello, am i talking to Mr. Gireesh Kumar?”

“yes”

“Myself _____ calling from ____ consultancy”

“yes”

“Gireesh, we have an opening with our client ____ … are you looking for a job change?”

“No, as of now I’m not”

“Then why did you update your profile in the job portal?”

“No, I just wanted to keep my profile there…i think they might delete my profile if don’t update in 6 months”

“Listen, if you don’t want to change your job, please don’t update your profile. You know, it’s very difficult for consultant people if you do so”

“Hello, is that my headache?”

“NO, IT’S NOT YOUR HEADACHE, BUT IT’S DIFFICULT FOR US….IF YOU DON’T WANT TO CHANGE THE JOB, DON’T UPDATE YOUR PROFILE”

cut the crap..i disconnected the call….
