I was speaking of my experience of recruiters I've dealt with, both  
looking for, and applying for jobs. They tend to have no idea what  
they're doing and throw as many people at as many jobs as possible.  
These people, in my opinion, are goofs. You talk to them about how  
you're a Linux/Unix admin and after the 4th call about a MSCE job,  
and after explaining AGAIN that you do not want a job that's mostly  
MS, and that you don't have a MSCE your opinion of these people that  
are suppose to be helping you goes down.

I can not explain the difference between EFA ad MSCI EAFE I do not  
sell, promote, or try to acquire any product or service that uses  
those. If I did, I would at least spend a little bit of time finding  
that out.

If I'm a recruiter or an HR  person and somebody came to me with a  
job rec I would at least talk to the person looking for the job/ 
employee and get a feel for what's going on.
