I'm 57 years old...and I have little patience for people intentionally wasting my time. If they haven't read my resume, why can't they just be honest with me and say so? After all, they're expecting ME to be honest with THEM, and I should be entitled to reciprocity.
I'm NOT some wet-behind-the-ears kid who thinks he can lie and it won't be discovered. Everything on my resume is true, because a) at my age, I'm too damn lazy to make up a good lie just to impress someone, b) at my age, I'm too forgetful to keep up with keeping lies straight, so it's easier to tell the truth, and c) I was raised with a fairly good sense of right and wrong. Besides, they can just contact my ex-employers and my references and get the truth, so I have no motivation to lie [I'm not applying for any $100,000 a year and up jobs that MIGHT be "worth" lying for, in the eyes of some people]. And I'm not claiming to have found a cure for cancer--or even diarrhea; I'm just claiming that I worked certain places during certain time frames, and performed certain tasks while employed there...and these claims are easily verified.
I just think that the way this beginning of a phone interview was handled showed a LACK of respect for me. OK, so you might say I haven't earned any respect from them; again, I see that as a 2-way street. If they start out by showing me no respect, their expectations of respect in return should be quite low as well.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
