Recruiter: “Hello, may I speak to Michael?”
Michael: “Speaking.”
Recruiter: “Hi Michael, I’m Stephanie from XXX Technical Services, I was wondering if you had a moment for me to speak with you?”
Michael: “Sure, but let me stop you right there. I noticed you are calling from Milwaukee. I’m currently living out in CA and I have a full time job. So if you are looking to place me for contract work, it would have to be out in CA and be part time.”
Recruiter: “OK, so I guess you aren’t planning on moving back to Milwaukee any time soon then?”
Michael: “Well, eventually CA is going to fall off the face of the earth into a black hole of debt. At which time, I will probably move back into my parents basement in Milwaukee. So you will probably be hearing from me shortly.”
Recruiter: “Well then…”
Michael: “Look, all you have to do is follow the markets. When the state of CA finally declares itself bankrupt and collapses into chaos, give me a call back. In fact, I’ll probably be calling you back.”
Recruiter: “Ok, well… should I send you my email?”
Michael: “Sure, I’ll probably need it sooner rather than later.”
