LOL, A Recruiter Just Contacted Me for a Job in Chicago!

[emapples]

Just got a text from a recruiter for Cook County Health wanting me to apply there. As if I would ever relocate to someplace that screwed up, much less take a family there. What crazy recruiter stories do you have?

Yeah you could live in Wisconsin and commute for the right money ……..

I’ve had several headhunters after me, wanting me to move to Achin Anus Arkansas or somewhere comparable. Don’t they build manufacturing facilities anywhere a reasonable person would want to live?

I had a "professional headhunter" call me.
Said he had a client, a wonderful, industry leading, expanding and GENEROUS company; looking for managers with my skill set.

"Great! Who, where, how much?"

"I can't dispense that information. I can send you a contract that I am authorized to respond on offers."

"Ha, are you THAT stupid to think I am stupid and would sign such a document?"

I've had recruiters contact me before, and I usually let them get their spiel out and when they ask me what it would take for me to "Join Their Team" I tell them I'm currently happily employed, then they usually ask with whom, and once I tell them, they just sigh and say neverminded..

I was offered a job to be a hit (collection) man in Vegas.
No kidding.

Shoot, Man...

...with your camouflaged vehicle, it would be easy for you to sneak up on people.

They must have read your gunshot wound thread.

I get calls and emails a few times weekly, at this point I am not taking or considering any offer unless it is so absurdly above what I currently earn I couldn't refuse. Employers in places like the left coast , east coast or Chicago won't come up with that kind of money and I know it. Plus the cost of living will kill any pay increase I would get.

Had several call and tell me about the great opportunities to do this or that, travel, etc… one in particular did have me interested until I looked at a map and saw where it was. Picture the most desolate, desert in Texas with the nearest town 35 miles away and a bigger town with at least a Walmart and some chain food restaurants at 90 miles… still would have been cool to say I worked for Jeff Bezos on his rockets. Money was great, hours were 14 12’s the 7 off. It was contract work until they didn’t need you anymore. I retired instead and let the younger fellas chase their dreams and money!

Get them to finance a trip up there for an interview. Eat some great food in Chinatown, get a pizza.

Say no thanks and come home.

Changing your Linkened profile to "Retired" doesn't stop them emailing. Still haven't figured out how to delete it 100%
