I was walking in Megamall the other day to visit our Crabtree & Evelyn store when a guy came up to me and introduced himself as a headhunter. He seemed friendly but I was in a hurry then to get to the store so I think I started being masungit. But I was smiling when I spoke to him (just a little on the mataray side...). Below is the conversation I had with him:
Guy: Hi! excuse me miss?
Azy: (annoyed) Yes?
Guy: Hi I saw you kasi and you look like a professional. Do you work here in Ortigas?
Azy: *thinks: professional what?* (raised eyebrow) No I don't.
Guy: Oh I see. I'm Thomas. I'm a headhunter. Do you know what a headhunter is?
Azy: *thinks: duh.. syempre...* Yes I do.
*at this point, I was being mataray and masungit already*
Guy: Ah good because we're looking for young professionals to join our team. We have a client in the US who needs people in...
Azy: What kind of company?
Guy: It's a multinational company. They have a business here and th..
Azy: I know. What kind of company? What industry are they in?
Guy: Oh they have consumer products, manufacturing...
*at this point I think he feels embarrassed and threatened by me*
Guy: Can I ask how long have you been working? Where do you work?
Azy: Four years. I work in Makati. I'm in marketing.
Guy: That's great! Because they need people like you. How long have you been working with your present company?
Azy: Just a month. I joined them only last month. *I answered curtly*
Guy: Oh I see. Well will you be interested to submit your resume to us? Do you have a business card?
Azy: *doubting already* No I don't have one yet. Can I get yours then?
Guy: Oh sorry I left mine at my office. I was just about to go back there when I saw you so I thought already of meeting you... But can I just get your number and I'll contact you on the offer?
Azy: *left eyebrow raised* No I'll just get your number and I'll call you. *starts taking out cellphone*
Azy: sorry I didn't get your name the first time. What's your name again?
Guy: It's Thomas.
Azy: I'm Azy *shakes hand* What's your mobile number?
Guy: Sorry I didn't memorize my number.. I'll just get yours na lang.
Azy: It wouldn't be right for me to give you my number. What's your email then?
Guy: Oh.. well... my email is a bit long eh...
*the guy's slipping....*
Azy: It's okay. I can type it. *takes out phone and starts on the application*
Guy: ah okay.. *guy dictates email*
Azy: Okay thanks.
Guy: Yeah so... thank you for your time Azy. Sorry for the bother.
Azy: It's cool. Bye.
*Azy leaves him and walks to the store.*
I didn't look back at him anymore. I kept his email so I think I'll check on it in Facebook one of these days when I remember. It was a funny incident because he said he's a headhunter. I don't know if real head hunters approach clients that way but it was so unusual. He even hesitated to give me his number and his email (or if he has another plan in mind... that I might not contact him at all :P).
It's a funny approach. I wonder what else he would've said? This is one heck of a way to get girls haha.
