    I am currently looking for a gig, preferably remote since my medical situation has evolved to a 'work from home if possible'. I hate to sound biased, and I try my best not to be, but I would really like to talk to recruiters that have some modicum of knowledge speaking the English language. Caller IDs say they are anywhere from Wisconsin to Texas to Alabama, but very few of them can make themselves understood to the point I feel comfortable making any kind of agreements over the phone.

    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

        What is this 'priviledge' you speak of? The only privilege I have at the moment is being born left-handed :cool:. That just overrides the detriments of being broke, jobless and (I just found out) needing expensive medical treatments for liver disease and dupuytren strictures in both hands. X|

          When you say that stranger, I strongly advise you to smile. :)

                  It's just that they use offshore HR to reduce cost. But then those offshore HR people need to find Americans! ;p

                      Once you start understanding what they say, you will then be amazed by their lack of knowledge of what they are talking. This is why I prefer to apply directly on the company's website and choose email over phone.
