had my resume posted on careerbuilder/ monster job search sites. was contacted by a third party recruiter about one of the positions he was working on. to my surprise it was an actual position. met with the headhunter in person for an hour or so. over the following couple weeks he was in touch with the hiring manager who decided to bring me in for an interview. we met for an hour or so to discuss my background. what i like was the willingness to work around my schedule. at the end of the interview the hiring manager set up a day/ time for me to meet with her boss and a colleague. i met with the boss, the hiring manager again, her boss and HR. 3 of the 4 went extremely well. HR was a mess. extremely rude and condescending. the HR rep accused me of being a job hopper and said that they werent looking for someone like me who has a history of changing jobs. i immediately called the headhunter to let him know so that he could counter attack the disruptive HR rep. no luck. the hiring manager ended up going with someone else and as i expected it was due to longevity concerns. smh..... it shows that sometimes the hiring manager really isnt the true decision maker
