Match.com is morphing into monster.com.
With the current unemployment rates, enterprising job-seekers are now using dating sites to mine for jobs - showing up to a first date with their resume in hand.
I was chatting with a friend recently about their online-dating experiences. Their profile described an affluent, well-educated executive in a technical industry and that was enough to catch the eye of a few job-seekers.
At the first (and only) meeting, their date demurely produced their resume and asked if there were any job openings at my friend's company. The scenario repeated itself two more times with other people.
So if you dip your toe in the realm of online-dating, be aware that this could happen.

It's part of networking, at time like this, anyone gets a job feel like it's a mercy from God and it should not like that.
I did once with online dating, very disappointing but maybe my expectation was too high? or I just take myself too serious?
Good subject though.
