christoofar 0 #1 December 13, 2004 heh... I was just in the middle of making DDL changes to a 10 terabyte DB/2 database and got a call on my cell phone with no caller ID. I figured it was my boss and we're on favorable terms... so I answer the phone in my standard greeting: "WHATTTT????!?!?!?" Turns out it was a recruiter in New York. Ooops! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyIvan 0 #5 December 13, 2004 My philosophy about calls on my cell: If I see a name means is in my address book, if it's just a number and I don't feel like answering the phone, LEAVE A MESSAGE, if the person REALLY wants to talk to you will leave a message, otherwise too bad. I'm also looking for a job, but I keep track of where I'm sending my resumes to, but then again, if I'm busy and you REALLY wanna talk to me and I don't pick up...leave a message. Geezz...that was a lengthy post __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #6 December 13, 2004 It's no big deal. I'm a programmer and I also do I/T architecture. 90% of the offers I get are from headhunters who are trying to put a body with a client and don't really know much about the client, what they do, or what exactly they want, etc. Only because I have skills that match what an employer is looking for doesn't mean I want to work for that employer or their industry. I mean.. I know VB... but does that mean I want to feed and clothe myself on VB code? I'm mostly relegated to healthcare and insurance companies because their business software is extremely complex and I like big projects. I can't pay my $1,085/month rent creating websites. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #11 December 13, 2004 Quoteheh... so I answer the phone in my standard greeting: "WHATTTT????!?!?!?" Turns out it was a recruiter in New York. Most of the recruiters I've talked to were simple keyword matchers. I talked to one on the phone about high-availability software I've written and after some face-to-face interviews discovered he was looking for a _systems engineer_ not a software engineer. While I know about multi-phase commits, quorums, etc. I haven't a clue how to mesh a bunch of Cisco routers together. Some were looking to sell me out at long term rates for short-term contracts with no guarantee of keeping me busy in the future and them making a healthy profit . When doing short term work I'm going to charge enough to handle down time and pay myself a reasonable salary. IOW, no big loss. A call from a company founder on his way to securing Series-A or a contact in the startup/VC community would be something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
