My conversations have usually gone like this:
"Hey, you look like a great candidate for $AWESOME_JOB"
"Great, let's talk"
"Oh, you're not really what they're looking for, can I interest you in $GARBAGE_JOB or $BASEMENT_AT_YELLING_CORP"
But by then I've showed interest, so I start getting calls. Not worth it.
- ryandrake 10y agoSeen that, but more often than not it's: I see you're working as $ROLE in $COMPANY_A. How would you like the exact same $ROLE in $COMPANY_B? Or worse, How would you like $ROLE-1 in $COMPANY_B. Sorry but it's going to take at least $ROLE+1 to get me to uproot my life and go through that interview gauntlet again. Of course, as I said in another post, the calculus changes entirely if you're unemployed and need "something, anything".
