I don't see why you should mention any recruiter when you go in for a job interview. If the company has arrangements with the recruiter, then they will work something out if you get hired.
I'm currently doing daily research for a small recruitment company. I get to search resumes on Monster.com. One thing that strikes me after dealing with this company, and with recruiters who call me, is that most of these folks have no clue about IT. They will try to match you up with jobs that are totally inappropriate. It also doesn't help that HR departments don't understand the jargon of IT. I suspect I've watsed my time on more than a few interviews that were set up by HR people who weren't on the same wavelength as the people doing the actual hiring.
Oi. I have an interview this afternoon with a major corporation. They want to interview me for a position that involves running web servers, something that isn't exactly one of my strong points. I have to wonder why they are interested in me. These kind of interviewers are easier, because I can ask them why they are so interested in me.
Why exactly do you find my resume interesting?
In my rundown of job interview experiences the other day, I forgot to mention the one where I almost got arrested outside of the interview location because I was challenging a bunch of security guards who were harassing a homeless user of the library.
My adrenaline was pumping during that interview!
