I was not laid off, but my contract ended 3/30. The company I worked under offered me permanent employment around 3/15. I told my recruiter during an off site lunch meeting that I was pretty much unhappy with the work, people, and location. I also foolishly added that I will take the permanent role, but asked if they could find me another one instead as I continue looking.
It quickly occurred to me that wasn't the wisest thing to tell a person whose job it is to find a long standing candidate. So I asked if my complaints were between us, she said of course.
Later that day, my other recruiter calls me saying he has to tell the company I was contracted at that I will not continue past my term. His justification how it would look bad on there part.
So now I'm without any job, still looking, but without luck.
- jimmydddd 7y agoSorry to hear that. Always keep in mind that if the recruiter has placed or is looking to place mutiple candidates at a company, and the recruiter is paid a fee by the company--Then the company is really the recruiter's client, not you. Good luck in your search.
- masonhensley 7y agoBummer, what kind of work are you wanting to do next?
- mastrsushi 7y agoI'd like to continue as a C# .Net developer because that's my strongest skill. I'm starting to wonder if telling employers that boxes me in.
