I can't tell you all how many recruiters, when they call and I talk to them and they realize I'm not what they are looking for, will start hemming and hawing and lying rather than being forthcoming and honest and I'm so sick of it. "Let me have my associate call you right back in a few minutes," or "we'll be in touch later today or in the morning," or some other such nonsense.
I exchanged emails and calls with the last one for about a week. Wrote a new resume, they kept saying their client was "excited" to talk to me. I was about to start the process of obtaining a New Mexico license (yes, I was willing to relocate from Tennessee to New Mexico, and he told me to go ahead and start the process to show their client I was serious.)
This was the last time I heard from him. I emailed him to ask if they were still interested and he emailed me back with some crud about being in meetings all morning and asking if he could call and follow up with me this afternoon. I wore my cell phone and waited and nothing. NOTHING. Now, I'm sure he is just avoiding me. I'm not a pushy person, but I've made the mistake of believing these people (or wanting to). They are all a bunch of liars and I guess I'd be doing myself a favor to just give up. I'm not being an unreasonable job seeker at all, if anything I undershoot myself when it comes to talking about salary (I've always said I just want to be paid the going rate for entry level NPs, which could be 70-90k a year.)
