Meeting recruiters, I often wonder how they get their jobs? And then when I see them, I realize the reason why. It's not because of their smarts, and yes, some might be smart. Reporters too for news and sports tv. I have met only one male recruiter and he was in his 50s so I can't comment on that one.
PS. I know the difference between their, there and they're but I just get so confused when I use them sometimes so if I mess up sometimes, that is the reason why.
I hear that echoed by my DD. She is currently on interview #4 for this same position, ironically a recruiters position. Each person played a different role. What they are looking for is different with each person and position. My DS girlfriend works in Human Resources, Casting, it is funny to hear what they look for and what will get you dismissed for each type of position. I would not necessarily put strong belief in their lack of smarts. My DD came out of a well ranked University and the gentleman that picked her resume out of the pile is also from the same University. They both had to be smart just to get accepted there in the first place. Never know what will make them pull your resume out of a pile. Trying to figure it out will drive anyone batty.
I feel for you, @Soarin' Over Pgh and my DD. It is a frustrating process in economic times that make it so competitive. I'll continue to send y'all good Karma and prayers.
