Why I’ll never be nice to a recruiter again

Remember when Anakin turned to the dark side? Well think of me ask Anakin. The chosen one, the one that is nice to recruiters. Yet time and time again I get burned by recruiters. I can count on two hands the amount of times that a recruiter has reached out and scheduled a call, yet I end up waiting for 10 minutes after our appointment without a call. They love to ghost you but when they really want you they won't get off your ####… All in all, recruiters are the absolute scums of the earth and from now on I will absolutely be ignoring every recruiter unless they are from a firm I want to lateral to.
