For Job Seekers

       Receiving phone calls from recruiters is highly expected after you sent out thousands of your resume to different companies. So many that you even forget which company or what position you have applied. When recruiters start shooting emails and dialing your number, you have no concept who you are talking to. It happens to me way too often to be reasonable.
       Pretending you remember or know is not a good solution. Someone once told me that confidence made people believe in whatever you said. That's not true, just because people are not as unintelligent as you think.
       I then thought of a good way to be honest and polite while retrieving the pieces of information needed. Sometimes it is very difficult to identify the company when a recruiter talks too fast or with an accent. You may then ask them to send you an email as an interview confirmation including the time and location of the interview, company background information, and job description. I think the willingness to review and do a thorough research on the company deserves a forgiveness.
