Box Query:

How important is it to meet face-to-face with a headhunter? The headhunter wants to meet up; I'm not so inclined.

Apparently there is a job opportunity available, so I don't think that such a meeting would be a complete waste of time. But I really don't like meeting with people...

If you need a job, yes. If not, then I wouldn't worry about it. Headhunters in my experience are like HR reps, there are 19 crappy ones for every good one.

I don't need the job. Heck, every job I've ever gotten (except for my first one out of school) was one that I didn't really need.

Quite honestly, I have a pretty decent job right now: I get paid pretty good money to essentially look busy while not doing any real work. To give this up would require a sizeable salary increase, and in this economy, I don't see that happening.

Plus, the risk involved in switching jobs can be substantial.

Firstly, can I have one of those. :p

Secondly, I wouldn't go out of your way then.

Call the elite desk, there is no mention of a fee for booking through them.

Edit: According to the elite benefits table, plats are exempted from telephone booking fees.

Do you mind wearing a tie Monday through Thursday and getting to the office by 7:00 am and staying until around 5:30 pm?
