clueless candidates
I work in a recruitment firm in the IT sector - if anyone from this arena reads this they WILL understand. A candidate called Yihui Xu would apply to every single role advertised, regardless of the skillset required....his catchcall was..."You call me Shoo"

So - to the tune of Paul Simon, You can call Me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my job is so hard
I need a job-opportunity
I want a shot at development
Don't want to end up an analyst
In an analysts graveyard
Codecutter Codecutter
VB in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit monitor
Mr. Manager Manager
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my recruitment consultant
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Johnny
And Johnny when you call me
You can call me Shoo

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of employment
Got a short little lack of employment
And wo my CV is so long
Where's my salary abd benefits?
What if I die here
Who'll write my CV
Now that my visa has
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There was sponsorhsips and allegations

If you'll be my recruitment consultant
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you JOhnny
And Johnny when you call me
You can call me Shoo
Call me Shoo

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Thirtieth time
He's sent his fucking CV around
He doesn't speak the language
He doesn't have a clue
He is a Chinese man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
JAVA in the marketplace
C++ and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the infrastructure
Spinning in infinity
He says I am interested.....in this job!

If you'll be my recruitment consultant
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Johnny
And Johnny you call me
You can call me Shoo
Call me Shoo

Apologies for the length
