Lately I have been bombarded by "American" ( in name only, as most of the persons that contact me are clearly from India or Indonesia). recruitment companies to "find me a position". And I know more and more companies are just ignoring "recruiters".

@StarWarsGirl : I always wonder, do recruiters get money for getting employees to accept lower salaries than what is expected? Because I do not see how it could be convenient for a company to get these offers.

I think usually reputable recruiters get a flat rate for filling a position, and then they earn a portion of what you earn. Mostly they just want to fill the position, but a good recruiter wants to make sure they get the right person in the position.

Sounds like you haven't been contacted by the reputable sort.

Not at all, I have been getting swamped by random things that do not even match what I do.
Its like some of these recruiters are just throwing and hoping something sticks.

*edit*
Oh boy.. and also almost all the recruitment send offers that do not even have or have lower than expected compensation (compared to what other sites have, like indeed.com ) XD

I took my resume off Monster and Indeed for that reason. Too many non-reputable recruiters. My first job out of college was through a recruiter who found me on LinkedIn and who actually knew what he was doing.

Wear whatever you like -- and sometimes, it's good to change things up a bit. :cool:

Would agree with a few others, that without the beard, it does make you look younger. But if I were you, I'd go back to the beard in December, and figure out a way to cash in on a Santa side gig! :joyfull:

P.S.: How do Emy and Audrey react to the no beard look, or have they not seen it yet? I'm just curious if little kids notice a change like that.

I agree with the change things up a bit, but, Carolyn definitely prefers me without it, to the point that even when my face is all messed up after shaving it all off, she says I look just fine…!!!!! :hilarious: But, it’s not just me, as she doesn’t like the look of facial hair on any men.
I tried to grow a beard a few times years ago, but, it had red, gray, blond (the hair color I had when I was younger), and even some dark hair mixed in, so it looked too patchy.
Now that the beard is completely gray (except for my mustache), it fills in just fine.

Yea, at the office yesterday a coworker said…
“Oh no, what did you do, Santa…?!?!?!”
Now, you look like the younger off-season Santa…!!!”…!!!!! :hilarious:

Audrey has only seen me without a beard when she was very young.
Emmy has seen me with and without the beard a few times, and it never seems to affect her.
Daniel and his father are almost never without a beard.

And, on a side note…
My iPhones facial recognition recognizes me with or without the beard…!!!!! 🤷‍♂️:hilarious:
