So, I mouthed off to an internal recruiter of a company who wanted to interview me for a Director role. She told me after our 1st meeting that they wanted to see an example of my work, plus complete a 12 question essay questionnaire, plus give a presentation to my peers, so I finally lost it and had had enough. I told her that my results in my resume should speak for themselves, and same with the recommendations on my LinkedIn profile, .and that I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get hired. I told her it's insulting at this level in my career. I couldn't help myself! I was beside myself after learning of their process and exasperated. So I think I unloaded ALL of my frustration on this poor girl, but still, it was ridiculous what they were requiring me to do, and I wasn't having it. I told her thanks, but no thanks.

But now, once again, I have no job leads and it's back to square one.
