If a headhunter called me about a job in "Glowchester" Mass

[NewJeffCT]

That was how she pronounced it...

Am I out of line in correcting her butchering of the pronounciation? I believe Gloucester is pronounced "Glau-stah" or should I just let it ride?

1. You Could've...

... told her The Perfect Storm tie-in, to soften the blow.

As an interloper up there, I was befuddled by why I couldn't find places on the map. I'm good at finding places on maps.

Kindly throw the next headhunter a lifeline. Or a head.

:thumbsup:

2. It tells you that this head hunter is not hunting on ancestral grounds

She probably knows as much about the company she's hiring for, as she does about the area.

I'd give it a pass.

[NewJeffCT]

7. nope, she's from the west coast

not sure what connection she has to them

[Xipe Totec]

12. I get a lot of West Coasters e-mailing to offer me Boston jobs

But I already have a local agent for if and when I need a new job.

You're always better off going with an agent that's local to the area where you want to work.

3. I thought it was pronounced

glaw-stah

[Gormy Cuss]

5. yep. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

6. you're right, I think

glaw rhymes with law...

[MissMillie]

11. my boss lives there

yep... he's a lawyer too.

14. Gloss-tah, or wicked close to that n/t

4. Gloster would also work

8. Was the head hunter from India?

[NewJeffCT]

9. No detectable accent

I think she was from California.

[Little Star]

10. Was just thinking it was outsourced.

13. Perhaps you'd prefer a job in Cholmondeley?

I'm not telling how it's pronounced. :shrug:
