Am I being jerked around regarding a specific job opportunity?

1. If you had a car for sale, and I test drove it, said I would buy it Wednesday,

then that came and went, and you called me and I said I was selling off some stuff to raise the money, and then the next week you saw me test driving your neighbors car, which is not as nice as yours but a thousand bucks cheaper, would you be asking the same question?

Some recruiters are nothing but pimps, they just want the commission, and couldn't sell your soul to the devil. And some employers are the devil. I personally think, (and this is only my uninformed, very distant internet-based, opinion from hearing your side) they are just playing you, looking around, or maybe they weren't serious in the first place. They may have someone working there who was looking for a raise and you were a pawn, or...?.

But you have to make up your own mind. And maybe find another recruiter. I've done that before, it wasn't pretty, but I got offered a better job. Then again, that was nearly a lifetime ago.

Regardless, none of that stuff would happen if they were serious and wanted you to work. And you need work, perhaps badly, and don't want to admit to yourself that you are a smart cookie and know exactly what is going on. Automatic re-post my ass.

Or I could be just too old and cynical, and wrong. Again.

Good luck!!
