An internal recruiter reached out to me yesterday to set up an interview where she wanted to learn about my experience in my field. I have set my profile to openly looknig for work and, while temping, looking for a long term role. I sent her my resume and we set up a call for this morning.

I was confused as to the purpose of our call because she didn't actually ask me any questions about my background. As she ended the call she asked if I wanted to be considered for future roles. I said I did and gave her my salary range.
