"Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown." ~Author unknown, as quoted in the Lewiston Tribune

Maureen Sharib
Some people think that in order to engage a Gatekeeper you have to be her bosom buddy. Anyone know what I mean?Have you ever picked up the phone and some stranger, all gushy sticky warm, says "Hiya, Maureen howya' feelin' today?" This makes my blood boil ‘cause I know this character couldn't give a rat's ass about how I'm feeling and he's putting me on the spot as if I should know who he is.

Recruiting Animal
When you call a company back the next day and get the same gatekeeper. You have a very distinct voice. Don't they recognize you?

Maureen Sharib
Okay, we'll take a break on ice breakers and turn to Animal's question. IF I have to call into another company on a second (or third, or fourth) day - and it happens - chances of me getting the same Gatekeeper are about 50 -50. Any other phones sourcers here agree w/ this?
