I am sick and tired of taking time to go see recruiters and they talk all this talk and when it comes right down to it, they don't actually follow through.
I would say about 99% of the recruiters that call me to come in for an interview with them (for a possible position)have you come in, fill out papers, take computer tests that take hours and then hand you their business card and say that they will call you on Wednesday. Wednesday comes and goes and you don't hear from them at all, so you call them and they say they have nothing for you. You keep calling them and nothing. You think that maybe they don't actually have a position lined up but then you see them advertising for a position like one you just interviewed with them for on the NY Times.
Why did they have me come in in the first place? I hesitate now to even schedule an appointment with a recruiter because I feel like they waste your time. |

It's how a recruiter keeps their job. Most recuiters are really of no help. Have you ever been to a job fair? Recuiters are there. What they do is look at your resume, and tell you to look through their book of job descriptions. Then they give you a business card, rarely with their name on it, an 800 number, and a website to look at, maybe you'll even get a free pen. But that's about it, no job, no interview, no discussion with even a hiring manager.
