Got email from Shoaib Khan - "I have a position in a company in your city, please send resume". I did it and got a call from this guy (this is his number). He has STRONG accent and does not look like a recruiter... He asked about my desured rate, immediately agreed with it and then started asking personal information - date of birth, ssn(!). I said him to do not call me anymore and dropped the call.
Be careful, it is personal info collection!
If you are a recruiting firm and you want to recruit Americans for job openings then it is a pretty good idea to make sure that the people you are recruiting can understand what you are saying. The only annoyance I have is that I may miss a good tech writing job because I cannot understand one word that the recruiter is saying. When I have a voice mail from a recruiter and cannot understand I delete the message.
Got a couple of messages from Jerry at "cancer health care" about a free trial for outsourced transcription work. Did not call him back, but glad to know this is not legitimate so I won't bother calling him.
