fuck this job.com

I just don't get this shit. My resume has been out on craigslist (and a few other places) for ages. It is pretty clear what I am capable of. I can't list everything I do because that would fill a book, so I have a 3 page resume. It has become obvious that recruiters DON'T FUCKING READ because I consistently will have them send a job description for shit not listed on my resume.

For example, if you read a resume of a plumber, would you contact him about dry wall? Probably not. How about an auto mechanic? He MUST know how to fix aircraft engine because he's a mechanic. What the fuck?

To top it off, I then am asked for a pay scale. In other words, what is the least they can pay me? How about this, why don't you tell me how much the job pays first?

Most recruiters I have dealt with are just fucking ignorant. They don't read resumes, they do keyword searches only. Usually I get sent an email asking if I want some job that I don't have the skills for, or something that is not my specialty.

Although last week I sent a nasty ass email to some wench recruiter who was clearly not American. Not only was her grammer fucking shit, her proposal was completely unprofessional. Now knowing that English is not her first, second, third, or fourth language, what is the fucking possibility that she can help me find a decent job? I told her that since her grammer sucks ass, it is obvious she is not a professional and I can not depend on her.

Not all recruiters are bad, but most are. Get a body, fill a job, pay us a few bucks for a mindless fucking job that most people don't want. I am so damn tired of getting proposals for shit I say I am NOT interested in, or they assume that since I'm a system administrator that MUST mean that I also possess a degree in electronics engineering. Yes, I actually have seen that one before. "You are good with computers? Great, I have a job masking and etching circuit boards and I need someone who knows oscilloscopes, can read schematics, and understands voltages." If you look up the definition of a system administrator, where the fuck does it say electronics engineer?

But these fuckwads just assume there is all kinds of cool shit that I just FORGOT to put in my resume. I would think that if I had excellent skills outside of this, I would fucking list them. Putting dishwashing on your resume, ok I can see why that isn't helpful, but if you have a great secondary skill, wouldn't that be common sense to include? Apparently not to a recruiter. If they don't see on it your resume, you probably have it.

I seriously don't know why they even read any resume. Most of the bullshit job proposals they send have little to nothing to do with your actual skill.

Unfortunately, in my field, I pretty much have to use these retards. Most high tech companies use staffing agencies to "weed out unqualified candidates", YET the bulk of who they send over for interviews are unqualified anyway.

I finally just quit replying to most of the proposals I get. If they aren't going to the time and read my resume, why should I read their proposal?
