The good ones who offer career advancement advice and help navigating the pitfalls are rare. Most are grinding it out looking for their next placement and payday. They get paid by the agency and not you so many are not incentivized to give a damn about your career. The dog can’t see past the biscuit.

Years ago before employment law changed, there were fewer headhunters and they were much better because the market demanded it.

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box.

Men, why ghost women on dating apps even though you showed interest? I matched with a guy on Hinge and he asked me out. We were supposed to meet Thursday night, but I forgot that I had something for work, so suggested a different day. Not only did he not respond, but he also changed the pictures on his profile multiple times, making it obvious that he was on the app/saw my messages! He then unmatched me. Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.
