I've been getting bolder with the recruiters, not taking their crap sine a started reading the head-hunter blog.  now if they want to know my salary requirement, I tell then how much I want per second.
"Well, I'm looking in the compensation range of about 27.75 US cents per second sir".

Just got offered a job as an accountant by someone who claims to have looked over my online profile... THAT HAS ZERO ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE ON IT.

Damn job spammer...

I get those all the time, pre approved interviews. caller is like please choose an interview time, Thu or Fri  3PM  or 5PM.


While of the subject, I got an email with the recruiter saying,   blah, blah, blah, please check the attached document for the job description.

my response:  you know I am in network security and don't open MS word documents from untrusted sources. please reply back and cut/paste the job description text into the email body so I can review.

that could be a great scam, if I were a scammer,  reminds me of the powerpoint mouseover issue as seen in SANS Storm center recently.
mouse over a link and the malware app installs. Sheesh. my hunch is that something like that will be coming to a browser near you soon.

Thing is, for some jobs, the list of requirements is entirely made up of "nice to haves", including experience with the product you'll supervise. For some, if you have a pulse, can spell TCP/IP, and are currently employed, that's enough to get an interview. Then the interview comes down to whether or not the interviewers liked you better than the other guys.
