You have to remember to use them just the same way they use you. They can 100% be useful, but at the end of the day you are their commission and it’s important to remember that

Yep. I like when they email you at 830 am to say they’re going to call you at 9 am for this role you don’t have any of the experience for. It’s like, thanks but no thanks

I would talk to one and then he would bring in his colleague to talk to me. After talking to her it went up to the “CEO”. Same exact process as buying a car. They would go back and “talk” to the manager. And then eventually the manager would come talk to you. Haha

Some don't have clients. They just solicitate resumes. I used to get resumes when I worked for a private company although I was just a staff accountant. You should avoid those bad ones.

Anyone else tired of the assumption that because you’re a partner you have to think a certain way and believe certain things. I’m talking about wokeness, work from home, and the recent ever constant pushing of the needle to the left or risk getting “cancelled”. I’m fairly liberal politically so for me to be saying this I think may say something for the current climate. I should be able to hold and express my own opinions without being quashed because I’m not “woke” enough.
