I once had a recruiter try to recruiter me while I was on the job as a cashier. Just checking out his stuff and he just says "do you like working here".

I said "yeah it's fine". Then he began questioning me on if i thought this was a good career path or where I wanted to go in life etc. I told him I was in college. Then this man's eyes just lit up and he thought he had me. He said "and who's paying for that?"

He was so very disappointed when I told him the government was paying for it. I explained I recieved a decent Pell grant that covered all my school costs. He looked immediately defeated. The second he knew I want struggling for money or deep in debt he knew he didn't have a chance and gave up.

Pretty disturbing how excited he got when he thought I was in crippling debt. I guess they're trained to exploit desperation. I'm also still annoyed he did this to me on the job where I couldn't tell him to leave me the hell alone

There seems to be a fella by that name in the Minnesota National Guard, but that doesn't mean it's real.

I’d kind of be surprised if this was real, especially with that name.

Pulling the ladder up behind you is not at all rare.

It's just used to trick children, to make them seem more trustworthy. I can almost guarantee you it's not their real name. It's like the customer service line you call, get someone with a thick accent named "John"
