I do love the "Rockstar" requirement I keep hearing about.... you should show up massively hungover, wearing a ripped T-shirt and dirty jeans, smelling like you've been on tour with Motorhead for months, complete with lots of illegal substances stuffed in your pockets and a few guitar strings poking out of holes in your pants pockets...

recruiters suck. they don't respect what you're actually looking for.
me: "I want an animation role where I will do no banner work."
recruiter: "We have the perfect agency for you, here is their portfolio."
me: *looking at massive amounts of banner work* FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCC....

I was placed twice by recruiters, but it was a loooooong time ago... like late 1990's..... both times a very good match, and the second time they got more $$ than I would have if I negotiated on my own....

I think the guru thing refers to the fact that you should be able to metaphorically (or not quite) walk on bloody nails, and being able to spend a few months without eating...

Anyone get recruiters trying to get you to do their job for them?
ie. "I have this role, I know you're not a programmer, but do you have any friends that I could put forward"
... No... f**k off
