[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2170701, member: 15651"] Headhunters annoy me. Most of them are cold-calling me with nothing to really offer, or they are calling me for a position I am over- or under- qualified for and only looking to see if I know anyone interested. My first experience with one was back when I was living in Syracuse NY, but looking to move to the Boston area. A "recruiter" called me about a job, sounded really good so I decided to interview for it. I was working a job I really could not take time off from, so I called in sick one day drove 6 hours to Boston for the interview and drove back the same day. When I got to Boston and started the interview I found out that the position was not a permanent position, it was a temp job, it was likely to be eliminated in three months and the headhunter worked for the temp agency - they did both temp work and permanent placement. I was steaming mad at that headhunter the whole ride home. Next day I called him and his response was "I'm sorry, how about I offer you $2 more per hour." :mad: [/QUOTE]
