I get that a lot. As soon as they figure out that I'm over 40, I can practically hear the shredder.

I won't do this, though. I don't feel that it would be particularly professional, on my part; despite the fact that their unprofessional (and self-destructive) behavior does piss me off.

I just make every effort not to do that with people that I deal with. I give others respect, and don't require it in return.

Recruiters, these days, are a vastly different breed from what I remember.
