Daddy/mommy issues? To Conne: stop being such a pest. Call them after they settle after the new year.

Your job search habits are eerily similar to your dating habits. So are the results.

I usually follow up when I send in my application by email.

Once, by following up, I managed to have a friendly conversation with the recruiter for a position I was completely unqualifed for. After doing so I received one of 5 interviews from a lot of 200. I am convinced the only reason I was selected for interview was the phone call and ensuing conversation I had with the recruiter.

they finally call and tell him never again to inquire with their agency.



I love these "friend" stories.
