RE: Thinking of a career change.. how does one get into Technical Recruiting..
Seems we all have similar experiences. Would love to hear what a recruiter has to say! Adrian -Original Message- From: Scott Stewart [mailto:sstwebwo...@bellsouth.net] Sent: 12 March 2009 19:36 To: cf-jobs-talk Subject: Thinking of a career change.. how does one get into Technical Recruiting.. Hey all, Since there's a large number of recruiters on this list, I've been wondering. How does one break into technical recruiting? I've got years of experience as a ColdFusion developer, but it appears that the CF market in NC has dried up. So I'm entertaining the idea of moving into recruiting, but have no idea where to start.

RE: A Question For Recruitment Agents
Companies I can understand. But agents? If they can take my email address and send automated emails for other potential jobs, why can't they do the same with rejections? In my eyes it doesn't do their already tarnished reputations any good. I read a piece in the BCS (British Computer Society) magazine, saying there should be a code of conduct for agents, one that includes letting candidates know, in a timely manor, about rejections. I tend to agree. Having said all that, I meant to tell someone yesterday that I won't be able to do some work for them because I don't have the time. Oppps!

From Across The Atlantic
Hello all, I'm self employeed in the UK. Like most people here, a trip to America is always on my mind. What do you think the prospects would be for someone coming over to the US to work as a CFer on a contract basis? I'm by no means under worked at the moment, but I like the idea of combining a holiday with work. Does anyone have any experience of upping roots for a foreign land? How did it work out? I haven't looked at the legal side of things, just looking for some thoughts. Thanks. Ade -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
