Had the pleasure of telling headhunter absolutely no to Texas this morning
“Had the pleasure of telling headhunter absolutely no to Texas this morning
I received an early morning call from a headhunter this morning. It is for an interesting position that is really the future of my industry.
I interrupted him the moment he told me the position is in Houston, TX and told him absolutely not!
He stammered for a moment and asked why. I replied that with the current abortion laws in TX there was no way on earth I would move there with my teenage daughters.
He stammered a bit more and said he understood.
I hope he gets more responses like mine and passes it on the employers.”
