[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a recruiter call me ‘dear’ multiple times on a recent call. It was so unprofessional. [/quote] A recruiter is an administrative role. It's like a secretary but the administrative work she does is focused on talent recruitment. She doesn't actually hire people. If she was middle aged or older, I'd get over it. I know so many women in admin level roles who speak this way. It is cultural and has nothing to do with you personally. Generally I think women are conditioned into it because it's a way to sound "soft" and "maternal" and for women who entered the professional world in the 90s or earlier, there was a lot of pressure on women not to act too "hard" or risk being called a b--- or "strident" or "ambitious."[/quote]
