This morning I get a message from a head hunter.

Her message: “Hey CP, How are you, Long time no talk, I’ve got this really exciting opportunity available and I have to talk to you about it, Give me a call as soon as you have a chance.”

I am literally shaking with excitement. I begin to imagine, a new office, all things I would buy with the extra mullah, an exciting new title that includes Sr. somewhere…

Salivating I call her back,

CP: Hey HH, How are you? Got your message….


HH: Oh I have a cold….(and proceeds to whine about the cold for five minutes)

CP: (Polite grunts and suggestions of Buckleys)

HH: Oh so the reason I called is I have this exciting opportunity.

CP: (Fainting with excitement) Yes, Yes tell me more.

HH: It pays fabulously, a very senior role.

CP: (I am fabulous, I can do Senior)

HH: It’s a buyer role for an international company

CP: (Confused~ Last I checked I was still in HR)

HH: Describes the position in detail- So if you know anyone, do tell me about it.

CP: (Irritated silence…… This woman has to be kidding.)

Moral of the story, Head Hunters are like annoying telemarketers who tell you, you’ve won a fabulous trip to Mexico, and then inform you that you have to sign up for a timeshare!

At least your headhunter left a message. I've had one call my cell at least three times in a row without ever actually leaving a voicemail. Good wishes that the next call offers you something fabulous.
