Now to be fair, both recruiters didn’t know that I currently had a job, or that I’d moved over 200 miles away from the Philadelphia area (the area they cover). But then again, how would they now? The last time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Now before anyone says anything, the problem I had with this phone call from a recruiter isn’t because he was calling from India and I know why businesses outsource jobs, it’s because of money (it’s always because of money). No,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
