Just my $0.02 cents...I think that recruiters do help one get a job.
Yes, most recruiters are all about business but who is not? They try to
get you in and if they can not then they go on to the next one. This is

Would love to hear what a recruiter has to say!

Scott,
This one kind of got away from the original topic a little : -)
There are good Recruiters, and ones who should think about how to
improve their customer service skills a bit, and yet others who would do
the world a service and go back to selling used cars, or selling junk
bonds to little
Some technical recruiters work with the concepts of a fisherman's net. They
will catch anyone and everyone for a position, good fit or not.
Whenever a recruiter contacts me I take control of the conversation, as I

I've worked with both, if I do go down this road I know who I don't want to
be and that the guy who recruits by attrition. I've been the recipient of
the fishing email and phone calls dozens of times, and it's never panned

and bad everywhere. So it is important to work with someone that you
trust. Every programmer must do their own research.

I mentioned it because the way that I understand the program to work is that
you have to provide proof to the State Department that you attempted to hire

Scott,
I know your comments weren't directed towards anyone in particular and I
have also seen the misuse of the program myself. However the thing that
bothers me that people try to put all the blame on this program. I know, I
came to this country legally, paid all my taxes for 7+ years and
Personally I'd rather have smart people being brought into this country
