So much for all the opportunities the recruiter told me she had yesterday. Turns out she was only collecting resumes. The entire interview lasted less than ten minutes. "We have several things we're working on at the moment and if you're a good match for any of them I'll be in touch."
Blargh.
And she couldn't understand why I didn't want to move into the I.T. Director position. I said, "Look, I'm a desktop tech. I love being a desktop tech. I hope to be doing desktop support until I retire." I don't expect to hear anything more from her, and frankly, that's okay. I also got in touch with another one of the recruiters I worked with last summer to let him know I was on the market again.
I didn't have quite as much luck contacting the firm that placed me where I am now. No one there was answering their phones and the emails I sent to the recruiter who handled my account were getting bounced back.
At least it was a nice day off. And I got to have lunch with my man.
Yeah, she is totally all about the referral fee. Someone who wouldn't take the director position is someone who wouldn't
giveget her more money. Gee, I wonder why.I totally get where you're coming from, though. As a programmer I would never want a position as manager or director; that would just take me away from the code and turn me into a people person, someone who probably does little more than manage other people. I love programming.
