Why I Don’t Talk to Google Recruiters

Yes, I've gotten my last 3 non-consulting jobs through this method. Before I switched to FT consulting, pretty much all of my jobs were through recruiters. The 'wizardry' is basically having a well put together resume (I've had several people/orgs/etc take a look at it over the years and give me optimization tips), and I maintain profiles at dice, monster, and indeed. That's... about it. I avoid LinkedIn like the plague because I detest the company and its practices, but I'm sure folks who are less picky than me could do something similar on LI and EASILY get more than 200+ contacts a month.

I would be interested in seeing what your resume looks like, at least on a generic anonymized level.

No problem, whats a good email for you?

Edit: heck with it, I've got nothing to hide. Enjoy: https://www.fuzzy-logic.org/file/Lee_Whalen_Resume.pdf

So folks don't abuse my poor auto-responder, here's what would happen if you hit the email in that resume: http://bit.ly/2lxsly3

1) I'm impressed by your technique, and I intend to copy it.

2) The numbers in that autoresponder caused my jaw to hit the floor. I thought I was well compensated but apparently there is a lot of room for me to grow!
