Caught off guard by hr recruiter

I got a call from an hr recruiter earlier today.  I was completely caught off guard since I have not been applying to anything.  AND I didnt apply to this company.  She said she saw my resume online.

I really felt unprepared.  I like to have my resume in front of me to reference and there was a lot of noise outside my office.  She also called me on my cell phone and the reception wasnt too great. 

After the fact I realized I should have asked to call her back at another time.  I guess I just didnt want to be rude.  What's your advice?

She said she would send me an email (this was at 11) and I havent received anything so I feel like I blew it.

  • Eh, something may have come up. Give it until tomorrow and follow up if you don't hear from her.

  • Sounds like a head hunter, if they're sifting though resumes on monster it means they're pretty desperate. Don't give a second thought about the noise, etc., if you don't hear back and you are actually interested then track her down and email her.

  • Uggh, this is why I can't stand recruiters (if you are one -- it's not personal!). I have one that keeps calling even though I haven't been actively searching since last year and they never have anything interesting to approach me with anyway!

    I think recruiters must realize you can't always chat when they cold call.  Then again, they can be extremely dense. 

  • you didn't blow it.  remember they are busy and it may take time to get the email to you.  also, i would go out on a limb and contact her if you have not herd from her in a few days.

  • I've gotten called by recruiters as well and have had to say that I'm not in a position to talk but I can listen (reality of a cube farm).  If you're interested, you could always contact her and say you've had a chance to think about what you talked about and ask to speak with her again.  GL
