Welcome to the Lounge

Dear [redacted],

I have been thinking about this all day and I wanted to take a moment to send you this.

I am very disappointed in the way you attempted to represent me for this position. I made 6 separate attempts prior to yesterday to reach you BEFORE you sent my info to the client and got no response until late yesterday.

I wanted to discuss the company and the position and my background with you prior to you sending my resume to the client. I am aware that I have a done a number  of contract positions recently, and I'm aware of how companies sometimes perceive that. 

However what you don't know, because you made no attempt to find out from me, is that the last 4 contract positions I worked were all supposed to be 3-5 month contract to Hire positions. In all 4 cases issues outside of my control, such as budgetary restraints, hiring freezes, project cancellations and the like have all left me looking for a new position. My resume includes references from prior position supervisors who would have all confirmed that my employment were outside of my control. The position I'm at now had the same concern, and once discussed, they decided to proceed with me.

Now, instead of your client having a very experienced, capable developer, and me having a position that I was excited about, both of us are out.

I have to say that I work almost exclusively with recruiters, and the ones that make the transition enjoyable are those that approachable, understanding, and involved with both parties. I'm sorry to say that in your case, I don't feel that way.
