I have dealt with recruiters and directly with companies. The problem is that recruiters may not want to represent you if you do mass mailings directly to their client base. Be upfront with them, if they call with a vague description of a job, tell them that you have made direct contact with such and such company. Good ones will understand and may even give you advice (remember if you get in and you need to hier someone, who will you be thinking of giving the job search to, those of lesser quality may spew some venom and you know not to use them. It is curious to note that only 15% of all jobs are filled by recruiters and the remaining 85% is through networking. Something to be said for the direct approach. |

Hope the great weekend weather cheered you up. I walked to SJU and back on Saturday. On Sunday, I walked up Bell from Horace Harding to 41 Avenue -- I'm always amused by the way the elegant houses give way to tacky stores, just before 48 Avenue. Returned via Oceana -- certainly no elegant houses there. (Whoops -- hope you don't live on Oceana.) Best regards.
