Re: shopzilla evaluation?

Terrence -

First, congratulations on the new job!

Second, relax about the contact.

The original recruiter doesn't own you forever. If he had an agreement 
with shopzilla at all, any resumes were surely valid for a fixed amount 
of time, say 3 months. After that time, the company would be deemed to 
have "passed" on you, and they are not obligated to the recruiter at all 
anymore.

A manager (not necessarily the same one) may spot your resume for a new 
position (or maybe the same one is still unfilled). As you noted, the 
recruiter probably put his contact info on the resume, but having been a 
hiring manager, I can tell you that some are stupid and forget to do 
that, or some are so well known by the company and so trusted that they 
feel they don't need to do that. Even so, if your resume is "in play", 
it is easy to get your address from an internet search as you noted.

Many companies provide meals for workers. It is a "benefit", likely to 
both sides. The dot com era saw many companies providing breakfast, 
lunch and dinner. google has upped the ante (surprise!) by hiring only 
gourmet chefs at their cafeteria.

Worry about that when the company offers midnight snacks and foldout 
cots in every cube :)


Best,
