The other day, I interviewed for a position with a consulting company.
After talking to my recruiter, I spoke with an account manager who gave me a
miserable time in my interview- needless to say she was not impressed with
me. She looked at my resume and noticed that I have worked for some large
companies. She then asked about those companies, how I liked them, and if
used contractors. I told her that I didn't think so and that if they did,
they use one of the several contracting agencies in that city, not from over
2 hours away. She then kept after me until I gave her the name of a person
at that company that she could speak to. After that, she offered me an
interview with a company that I am very interested in.
My question is, do consulting firms regularly use prospective writer's
resume to pick up new clients? Am I being naive, or is this unethical?
