Very funny stuff guys. It always makes me laugh, when I get a call on my cell asking me if I am avaliable for a contract. Even more so when I am sitting in my office and the ask if I want a contract.
I personally hate recruiting/placement companies. To many times, I have met with them only to find out they know little to nothing about the job that needs to be done. In the end, more often then not I turn them down. --- In [email protected], "Jason Hawryluk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, your right, and I never looked at it that way.
