Is your resume on careerbuilder?

I get on call/week from someone that found me on careerbuilder that matches your description. Most of the ones I get are 3-6 month consulting gigs at some crappy company in a different state/industry.

I think I have an old resume up there.. also, its definitely more than 1 person, although some do call repeatedly, its amazing how rude they can be, if you don't answer they call again in 20 minutes and keep doing this 3-4 times.

I'm not sure you understand which one of you is being rude. Calling back later is a perfectly acceptable thing to do when there is no answer.

You must be a recruiter. Acceptable is leaving a message and waiting for me to call back or calling back a couple of days later if there is no answer.

If you are calling me every 20 minutes: 1) you know me personally or 2) it's an emergency.

yes I do understand. Keep in mind this is someone I've never talked to before, they call me during working hours and have some expectation that I will answer and when I don't they just decide rather than leave a message and call back a day or two later they are just going to keep childishly calling me back, interrupting my work in the process. I can understand if its someone with whom I've already had contact and I agreed to make myself available but only a salesperson / recruiter would actually believe that I am the one being rude.
