How To Be a High Tech Recruiter

1. Tap into those hip new social networks like "Linked In" and contact me about a job.

2. Even though my whole resume is listed there, ask for a copy.

3. Then, ask again, after I've sent it not once, but twice.

4. Ask me to schedule a time for a phone interview. Then say, you're busy and pick another time.

5. Call me late and ask "were you supposed to call me"?

6. After a profile on Linked In, and two resumes have been sent, ask me if I have a particular skill set as its the "only important one for the job".

7. After I tell you "no I don't have that skill", say "well we'd like to stay in touch...are you on Linked In?".

Man, Urgutha wins this round.
