Thanks Pauric, Dan, Dave, Michele - I appreciate the feedback. I think the straightforward approach is best and will update my portfolio towards that end. Also, re-assess medical as a target area.
I've had excellent interactions with recruiters in the past and it can be a symbiotic relationship. It's a tough field to pin down and I want to be as specific as possible. There will be confusion, but I can minimize it.
