Crazy Lady Interview

A change of pace, I'll talk about the crazy lady who I recently met.

First off, the office building they're in is super nice.  There's a fountain and the grounds are well kept.  And there were stone floors and kind of this rotunda area.  It was more like a nice hotel then a regular office building.  It's certainly not like any place I've ever worked.

If we recall, crazy lady told me that I should stop sending resumes.  She told me this several times during the interview.  I of course lied and said I would.  So instead of sending out resumes on my own, if I see a job or company I'm interested, I'm supposed to go to her and say that I'm interested.  Then, with her decades of experience and hundreds of contacts, she can find the hiring manager and then my resume will go right to the top of the heap.  Wow. 

She also bashed the other local recruiting/placement companies.  "They only care about fees."  While I've spoken to at least 3 other companies, I decided to lie and say that I had only spoken with one.  She was really mean about it.  "They'll send your resume all over town without you knowing about it."  Of course, I'm kind of thinking, "Don't I want that?"

But going there was good for the ego boost.  She said I was really qualified for a lot of positions and she bashed my former company a little bit, which of course feels kind of good too.  And she did mention some intriguing opportunities, but of course didn't tell me the company names.
