Out of the mouths of recruitment agents... 1

[LFCfan]

(In homage to Santa's thread)
I got an email from a recruiter today:

My client are looking for strong business acumen and the ability to talk technically and within the business conveying SQL in Lehman’s terms.

I hope the poor client isn't a financial institution

I received an e-mail from a colleague that said:

I hope this delay does not mean that our efforts are in vein.

Hi,
Tom Lehman is a pretty good pro golfer, but not sure about his programming skills.

So, I would have to convert my SQL interpretation into golfing terms?

So... instead of a normalized database, I'd have one that's "par for the course"?

conveying SQL in Lehman's terms.

Now we know why Lehman Bros. failed...nobody could convey their sql.
I guess most of us just convey SQL in clergyman's terms...

I guess that means if the program is "sub-par," that is a good thing?

That's a bit of a 'rough' one, James!

Yup... no matter how you slice it.....

It's a fair way of stating it. Just don't putter away the prospect. Drive for the wedge of opportunity.

I suppose the recruiter is just trying to stay in the green.

This thread is turning into real PUNishment.

 

[LeeMcCauslin]

Punsihment isn't too bad but try not to get trapped in it...

I keep awar from recuiters. I treat them like real bogeymen.
Or, is that boogiemen. In which case you could golf to KC and The Sunshine band.

So what? So, let's dance!

 

[Trevoke]

You need a real eagle eye to spot recruiters from that kind of distance, tcsbiz.

Hmmm...could I make a movie to convey SQL in Lehman's terms? It will be a summer blockbuster action movie, directed by Michael Bay. It will of course be called "SQL: The Movie". I can see the climactic scene now:

D. B. Corruptor (the bad guy): "Muahahaha!!! You'll never stop me now, Commander SQL! All I have to do is push this button. This one little button, and I shall execute a Delete...with no Where clause! Muahahahahaaa!!!!!"

Cmdr. SQL: "You fiend! You'll never get away with this!"

D. B. Corruptor: "Ah, but I already have!"

Cmdr. SQL: "Now, Normalization Boy!"

Normalization Boy: "The gig is up, Corruptor! You're not ACID compliant!"

D. B. Corrputor: "Noooooo!!!!" *pushes button*

*huge explosion* Cmdr. SQL and Normalization Boy leap away, just barely ahead of the massive fireball.

Normalization Boy: "Well, I'm sure glad that's over!"

Super-hot eye-candy girl: "You did it! We're saved!" *kisses Cmdr. SQL*

Cmdr. SQL: "All in a day's work...for Commander SQL!!"

*End. Roll credits*





And of course, there will be demand for another movie, which will be called "SQL: The Sequel".

Who has the higher rank - Commander Data or Commander SQL?

And instead of watching SQL: The Movie, I'd rather wait for the sequel.
