New Recruiter

Surprise, surprise.  One of the jobs I applied to yesterday from craigslist turns out to be a recruiter.  But this one's a little different, in my wife's words, "a nut case".

She asked, "Have you sent your resume all over town yet?  I hope not."  I of course tell her that I have.  She even brought up a specific company and I had applied to a job there a few days ago.  She continued and warned me about identity theft through resumes.  Never mind that her own posting on craigslist was completely anonymous, in her words, "scrubbed".  I pointed this out to her, and she said that when I come in and see the awards and speak to her, I'll know that she's for real.

So I'll be meeting with her next week.  It's good to have an excuse to get out of the house.  I've pretty much had an excuse to get out of the house almost every day since being unemployed, so that's good.

But anyway, to all you job searchers, I would suggest that if a recruiters asks you not to send out resumes, that they may not be good for you.  I personally feel like being dependent on a recruiter may not be the best idea.
