Lots of lying and that lying leading me to not getting paid or putting me in unfortunate situations.

Meeting times for potential employers, length of engagement for contracts, date of pay, and so on.

Being a young, hopeful professional leads to being taken advantage of because at our core, we all believe that people act in good faith. The more I worked with them (and the older I got), I've learned that once money is in play all bets are off.




One gentle recruiter has agreed to a job for me. Then tried to blame me for his inability to hire me.


Sounds about right.
