    Dealing with recruiters!

    Today's conversation:

    Recruiter: So, are you willing to move to California?
    Me: No, I would prefer a job nearby.
    Recruiter: How about Boston, Mass?
    Me: That's like 500 miles away.
    Recruiter: Lots of companies recruiting in Boston.
    Me: Do you have a specific job in mind?
    Recruiter: Not right away, but send us your resume and we will look up one that matches your profile.
