Ask HN: How did you got your job recently?

I did not make three grammatical mistakes in three sentences.

Yes, it is the case. If you have established skills, a lot of places will hire you in a heartbeat.<p>Note, though, that that if is a big if. It is always difficult to get your foot in the door because everyone knows that it takes a lot of energy to get a new programmer up to speed on programming and your environment, and there is a high possibility of it not working out.

If anyone has gone through a recruiter, can you comment here on your experience with them? Was it a cold call (you or them) or did you already know that particular recruiter?

I make it a point not to lie or exaggerate on my resume. This puts the burden on me to do things that are actually worth telling the truth about.
