I've had this happen several times now, by several different recruiters! One called me the other day - I was rather curt, and she says, "Hey "first name" blah blah blah. I was sooo annoyed. What should I do - be like hey i't not hey first of all and it's dr so and so?
I've had even a physician who is recruiting for a job call me by first naem and then introduce himself as dr so and so. I was like ummm. I don't want to be rude but it does bother me. What in their mind makes them think they should address me by first name?
I'm interviewing for a job tomorrow, the recruiter guy keeps calling me by first name. It seems like a reasonable job so don' want to make a big deal out of it but it bothers me.
Even when I started working at this one hospital recently, the SECRETARY calls me by first name -I say, no it's dr so and so and she got all bent out of shape. Even a patient's family member addressed me by first name one and i said it's dr so and so and she got pissed. I just don't get it.
