Of conmen and tricksters

Recently, a few "head hunters" from New York, whom I shan't name, came knocking. One of them is particularly irritating. They kept calling and for weeks promised the sky of New York as the bounty. Each time they would say, "... hey we will get you into this bank or that hedge fund ... hook you up with opportunities there ... get you an audience .. etc etc etc". You get the idea.

But the funny thing is each time, they will ask me the same old question. Do you know this? (yes I do), do you know that? (yes I do), how to do this, how to do that ... to which all I provided them answers. After a while, the process got irritating. Hey ... it is like don't they keep a profile of their candidates? They kept asking the same old questions and it seemed that we were getting nowhere.

So, this morning, being tired and fed up with their same old routines, I got straight to the point. They asked me again, " When can you come to New York for interview?" I told them, "as soon as you schedule one for me." A moment of silence ensued. They had no answer for me. They said they will be in touch. I won't.
