Go with your instinct and don't go behind her back. You may need her if the next job sucks. And you used up your Get Out Of Jail Free card on banging your assistant and escaping unscathed. There are few things worse than being constantly miserable at your job, which you are. And that misery will continue because bosses never, EVER change. If you have an opportunity to leave even for lesser pay I say go immediately before you buy a machine gun and become the latest nut to pop up on the Associated Press feed.
Use your recruiter as they have built up the relationship and trust that they're not sending the company shitty people. At the same time even though the recruiters get paid a commission, thy want to have a near perfect hit rate, so they might not think you're a fit. You'll probably have to state a strong case for that job. The best part is your resume won't get lost in the pile in the least. Also, certain companies/positions are a coin toss on if they give something to a recruiter first (because they have to pay them) vs. putting on their site publicly. I know in advertising, once you get up past a certain level, its recruiters 99% of the time.
Maybe she knows this company more intimately but the qualifications and duties line up almost perfectly for me and my job experience as well as what I had asked her to be on the lookout for. The first job she recommended to me was something way out of my qualification/experience range and had asked for experience handling stuff way out of my current wheelhouse. I feel like I should bring it up with her at a minimum and express my interest to them. Asking them during the interview maybe? The company manufactures military uniforms and hunting outfits something I could dig working for and have a half decent background being a hunter.
You guys give the worst advice ever. Clearly she is being secretive because she wants to keep him around so she can eventually fulfill the deep loving desires she has for him, and can bring him into her world of My Little Pony Cos-Play. Duh.
I think you should whisper the lyrics to Wicked Game into her ear while you slip the blouse off her shoulder. "Well, IiiiiiiiIIIiiiiii don't want to fall in love... with you." After that, the world is your oyster. All the connections. Everywhere.
Black Jesus is wise. Hear his words. Take his sage advice in to your heart, your soul. Now go fourth and share his truth with the masses.
Can I admit I'd never heard of this 80's Flash Gordon movie? I mean I knew Flash Gordon was a comic or serial reel back in the 30's but never heard of such a internet perfect movie for people to worship. Is it so bad it's good? Awesome because it just is?
So this is some of the reactions I got when I brought up the whole Flash Gordon thing to various friends. All of them gave me a blank stare and... "Is all TV just white noise to you?" "Only you. Anyone else I would call bullshit on, but you're so fucking pop-culture-less I believe it." "Does your daughter enjoy your crank radio you fucking old fogey?" And so on.
I've not seen the Goonies either, I've just heard about it, and I think I've seen some YouTube clips about it.
It's terrible, TERRIBLE cheese. However, the production design and art direction is brilliantly constructed and Ornella Muti (Princess Aura) is beautiful beyond words.
This is why you should watch it. That and Queen. And while you're at it, don't miss the soft porn version, Flesh Gordon.
Savior of the Universe! So, does that mean you guys didn't see Ted either if you haven't heard of it? Or, did you just not get that part of the movie?
A word of advice. Don't start telling people about the movies you haven't seen or you'll end up with a list a fucking mile long of "OMG how have you not seen <insert name of movie here>", and ultimately, you'll end up with a shelf of used DVDs containing such titles as The Last Boy Scout, Tango and Cash, and Midnight Run.
You've never seen The Goonies??? Good stuff. I've never seen Titantic. And was shocked it did so well.
All the movies you just listed are excellent and I would argue your life is now enriched by owning them. Also The Goonies is a quintessential slice of americana. Another must see.
