Today I was contacted by a recruiter on Long Island that had such a stereotypical accent that I couldn’t help but picture Joey B in my head.

The job is in New Jersey and does not offer relo so the conversation didn’t last more than about 3 minutes, I didn’t even ask who it was for as I am not going to pay to move myself to New Jersey (sorry, New Jersey, but that’s how it is for me).  I am also not going to include this call in my interview count.

In the meantime, I have another phone screen scheduled for Thursday with an HR manager of a large apparel retail chain headquartered in the Pacific Northwest.
