funny outsourcing
I just thought I'd share this, thought it was funny.
I needed a voiceover for a promotional video, so posted the job requirements. I explicitly stated must be a native female English speaker, send a voice sample in the bid.
So far, three bids. So far, no one seems to be able to follow instructions or actually meet any of the requirements. The only woman who actually included a voice sample sounds like she has a thick serbia-croatian accent. 2nd woman, apparently an actress wannabe, sends me a link to her online resume/profile (vidoes where she looks dolled up, & she has some credits, but she doesn't actually 'say' anything, and portfolio "pictures". I don't need pictures, I need a voice). 3rd woman 'says' she's a native speaker, yet -- her bid contains a whole bunch of grammatical mistakes, and no voiceover. I.e., "We would likes to bid on you're most grateful bid most gracious sir". Huh?
UPDATE: Finally got voice samples... one, while she 'put' her profile has being in an native english speaking country, sounds like she has a very, VERY thick east indian accent... arg!
Ahhhhhhhhh. the joys of outsourcing!
(PPS, in all fairness, I should say I do have some 'great' outsourcing stories, i.e., where people are amazingly competent, So I definitely have had some excellent experiences. I just thought this one was funny )
