I really enjoyed the analogy of the girl at the dance.
On a separate subject, I've noticed that a point of contact in the unit isn't always given. Is this something I (we) should always try to get? Or is it the norm to only work with the recruiter whose information is given on the announcement?
Not sure if I said this before, but I feel there is a fine line between being persistent and annoying that I don't really want to cross. At the same time realize to some of these units I may be "some guy off the street" and, of course, I want to change that.
