Default Re: got a job interview...

I'm a recruiter. I put food on the table by helping to hire people for other companies. If it were me, I'd prefer that you didn't waste my time. However, I have also had lots of conversations with people I would never possibly place, helping them improve their resumes, giving them job search tips and so on. The issue is though, I don't want to get my hopes up on a candidate who clearly isn't going to take a job, and I want to have some control over the hours I volunteer helping others out.

In the end, though, it's not going to be a major deal if you do go to the interview. Just be open with the recruiter and let him/her know that you're not entirely convinced you want this job. Part of a recruiter's job is to sell you on the opportunity. Maybe it will turn out to be a good one for you.

If it's not a good match, though, you should both know it by the end of the interview. Don't play games wuth them...
