Worklore #1: The Irritating Recruiter Syndrome

You know you've fallen prey to the Irritating Recruiter Syndrome if you've ever experienced the following types of recruiters or placement consultants: TYPE A: The ones who want to know everything about you, right down to your birthmarks, but  who will tell you very little in return. TYPE B: The ones who have a long first conversation with you, take your cv and then make like Halley's Comet (they won't reappear again for the next 76.3 years). TYPE C: The ones who call you and describe a job to you that doesn't fit your profile; and when you say so, they say "Oh, I was hoping someone among your friends would fit this JD". TYPE D: The ones who arrange an interview with the client; you go to the trouble of attending it, only to be told by the client - "Sorry, the recruiter didn't get it right, you're not quite the kind of person we had in mind". TYPE E: The ones who send you a regret letter after reviewing your cv; the only trouble is that the letter starts off as "Dear Arjun" - but your name is Sanjay. Have you met any other types ? Do share !
