Maybe my request for the assistance of a corporate recruiter was the wrong one.  I know that posting my blog on May 24th in the afternoon was going to be a little slow in responses due to the holiday weekend coming up and so I had hopes of hearing something from someone at the first of the week.  What do you know here it is mid week and no one has stepped up to the plate.  Maybe I posted this in the wrong place and if I have, if someone could point me in the right direction I would…
