How much more obvious can I make it?
Today I had my very first recruiter that cannot read call my cell. The conversation went something like this:
Recruiter: I'm Bob from Recruiters-R-Us. May I speak with Tsaiko?
Tsaiko: This is she. How can I help you?
Recruiter: I saw your resume on the internet. I have a position that I want to speak with you about. Do you have time?
Tsaiko: Sure. I was just doing some work on my thesis.
Recruiter: You... haven't finished your thesis.
Tsaiko: No. It should say on there that my thesis won't be completed until July 2009.
Recruiter: Oh. Oh so it does. But is says looking for employment by July.
Tsaiko: Yes it does. I'd like to have something lined up as soon as I complete my Master's. In July.
Recruiter: Well, I'm afraid this won't work out for you then. But I will call you if I have any other positions that come available.
Tsaiko: That's okay. I look forward to hearing from you about other positions.
Recruiter: You have a nice day.
So I need to change the wording in my objective to says "Looking to start in July." Because obviously the "Master's Degree: To Be Completed in July, 2009" and "Unavailable to start until July, 2009" isn't enough for some people. Not that I think this will even slow them down...
