Recruiters are smart

You post your name to a tech job board once, and forever shall recruiters dominate your inbox.

Today, I got an email asking me if I wanted a C# development position in New Jersey. For once, I decided to respond asking why anyone would contact *me* about this - he said "his database" told him to.

The tail end (heh, no pun intended) of the conversation is simply this:

I don't know where your database got its information, but I've never
listed myself as having any C# skills, and all of my postings on job boards
specify exactly where I'm willing to work (and NJ is about 3000 miles out of
range).

The Incontinent Recruiter...I'm not a cartoonist, but I really think there is the seed of all kinds of fun there.

*falls off of chair*

That's hysterical, and one great angle if you're hoping to open a recruiting business..

Wow. I've gotten some pretty odd job-recruitment emails, but I've never actually responded to see where they got their misinformation.

I would give that guy points for personality,

or take away all his points for not knowing what incontincence means.
