actually, that IS what I get paid for.
Welcome back, MagicPotHeads, after a lovely long holiday weekend. I hope those of you celebrating your various nations’ independence enjoyed your celebrations and fireworks.
I was privileged here in DC to watch the national fireworks show from the balcony of one of the cabinet-level departments, since my husband and I have a friend with a connection there. I’m working with said friend on his job search right now, and he’s never worked with a recruiter before. Because we’re friends, he hates to “bother” me by asking for little things like status updates and interview confirmations.
Well, actually, NO, I don’t have anything more important to do than check on that for you. Seriously. I get paid to make sure the process is moving forward, so I literally have nothing more important to do than get your interview scheduled and see who we should be looking for feedback from next.
I know we recruiters hate those needy, stalker-candidates, but we also have short attention spans and do need you to pipe up once in a while and remind us that you’re still waiting to have that second interview scheduled.
