European headhunter

A few days ago, I had a message on my cell phone.

Nothing special about that, until I listened to it : all in English (1), very good accent, the person seemed to be a native English speaker.

But there was a problem : even if I scored high on the TOEIC test, it was almost impossible for me to understand what he meant : it sounded like he was calling from a noisy train in a collapsing tunnel while eating marshmallows.

But I finally got his phone number and the reason for his call : it was about a job in Belgium, for a client whose nationality will forever remain incomprehensible.

I have quite a good CV, but not enough to think that a headhunter from England would call me in France for a job in Belgium.

And I don't intend spending the little money I still have just to call an Englishman who does not know he could have sent me a email, for free, and being sure I would get it.

(1) Keep in mind that I'm in France, and not used to such calls
