The very best haha

My wife has a full-time, traditional job with health insurance and other benefits. I'm the "house-husband" who takes care of most of the household chores, deals with the kids when they get back from school, and tries to put in 6 hours of work between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and maybe a couple of afterhours hours between 8 and 10 p.m.

That’s a pretty good schedule tbh.

Are we all the same person?

Gonna mix it up here: I am a wife with a regular corporate job. Husband gets benefits through my job.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
