Thanks all for your lively discussion and responses. It has helped
tremendously and I have passed on all of the advice to my colleague. It has
helped her formulate a plan and we are working on her resume together as I
said earlier as part of this three-pronged attack.
Again, thank you. These lists are invaluable.

It's not clear from Tammy's message that it was the company rather
than a recruiter that contacted her colleague.
