Title: Stupid Recruiters
Post by: Thorin on June 10, 2010, 02:54:56 PM

On the one hand, I am keeping an ear out for other work. On the other hand, I don't want cold calls from recruiters who found my name and latest company on LinkedIn, look up the phone number, and tell me I'd be perfect for their job when my LinkedIn profile says nothing about my actual skills!

Stupid Recruiters.

I hung up on him. Then I went to his firm's website, where indeed they have a couple of software development jobs.

But Jebus, don't call me and tell me I'd be perfect for the job if you don't even know what programming languages I know!

"Programming job? I'm up for... whatever!"

Yeah, kinda creepy. And very Telemarketerish.

Yet, the ad catches my eye: http://www.harcourt.ca/jobs/?id=96610-code-monkey-likes-net-development-jobs-careers-edmonton-alberta (http://www.harcourt.ca/jobs/?id=96610-code-monkey-likes-net-development-jobs-careers-edmonton-alberta)
