In business school, they would always host recruiting dinners and get-togethers. It would be amazing how many people would go, all looking for a job, who would then get incredibly drunk and just use the opportunity to get free food and alcohol. That s not happening so much in the current economy. But not everybody has been so lucky. I haven t gotten shit.
People keep postings up even if they don t have positions.
Still, this is not 1929, and these are not laid-off steelworkers with families to support. Few people are panicking just yet. Recruiters have told me that employers are getting bombarded with r sum s from people who don t have the skills they think they have, who ve never built a successful product, their salary expectations are through the roof, and their egos are gigantic. It seems like employers are hesitant to even open an email with a r sum attached.
