It has taken me three years to find some good recruiters.
LinkedIn was OK when I was paying for it (part of my severance from Samsung). Now it is crap.
And as for getting painted with the same brush - I have been telecommuting for 20 years for Xerox, HP, Quest Software, Danaher, Beckman Coulter, Samsung, WD...
Now nobody allows 1099 work or telecommuting because of all of the bad consultants. So I am stuck working on a W2 for some offshore company who pays zero benefits and zero holiday pay. The client loves me and has extended my contract but they are moving away at the end of the year.
Don't even get me started on age discrimination! When I am a perfect fit for a large corporation, the reply from their HR is "we have closed that position" because they can't say they found anybody more qualified than I am.
I should be running the Digital Content department for Google or Amazon at this point!
Cheers,
Mo
