Idiot recruiters

I've got nothing against recruiters in general. Being in need of a job myself, I generally appreciate the ones who will go out of their way to find interesting and relevant job opportunities for candidates like me. However, those who resort to questionable tactics (eg, spamming your resume to companies without your permission), or are just plain ignorant will earn my utmost disdain.

As an instance of the latter: just because I used to work at E.piphany does not mean that:

  • I am still interested in working with E.piphany software as an implementer, especially when my resume objective clearly states that I am seeking something completely different
  • I am qualified to do so -- E.piphany is a diverse company with a diverse line of products; if you worked at Microsoft on the Xbox, does that automatically make you qualified to set up and administer a MS SQL Server?
If I get another email about an "E.piphany position", I'm seriously thinking about making a new section for lame emails I receive, and posting it. =P
