I was working in the field for about 6 years, and had my bachelors (working on masters). I went to Robert Half Technology looking for work, and the recruiter there said I didn't have enough experience (are you kidding me?) and that she couldn't market me.

I went to another office location 4 years later, and they hired me on full time (very unorthodox) as a consultant because 'I was a purple squirrel guru". (what ever that means)

The original recruiter at the other location now is forced to find positions and contracts for me without 1 ounce of say in the matter. If I am waiting on another contract, I get paid, it's like vacation. Makes it so much sweeter

    RHT is a big waste of time. I won't go into details because they aren't worth my time.

    Well I work there full time now, Irvine location, and I have to say the salaried consultant positions are pretty sweet.

    @loganlehman I turned down a salaried consultant role out of NH, something about it seemed weird. Glad to know it's not a scam though!

    @lreading It seemed weird to me at first too, but I have to say I'm glad I did it. I don't think I'll do it for the rest of my life, but it's nice to have the diversity
