“Well Jennifer, I don’t know your husband’s specialty, but I can tell you that there’s a huge demand around the country for engineers, demand is especially high for specialized engineers in the high-tech industry.”
He continued:
“If your husband’s in that field, then we should get his resume and I’ll forward it to some of these companies that are telling me they can’t find enough engineers”
After that he stated that he insisted that she send him her husbands resume` stating that:
“I meant what I said.”
