LinkedIn is a stalking ground for incompetent recruiters...

... and I just recieved a prime example: It's a Java position (which is not on my resume). It's only 50 miles away, in the middle of a city, so you're looking at 2 ~ 3 hours each way of commuting. And it requires 15 years of related experience as a Software Developer. The post? "Junior Java Developer" Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! :doh:

Me? Oh yes, I've got 15 years experience with Excel 2016!! I used to work for a company that had G.I.S. as it's initials. Now I get calls wanting at least 5 years of GIS expertise! Auto-scanned CV anyone?

Odd... the only pings I've receive (twice a year, almost like clockwork) are from Google (they're expanding in Toronto) and FB (AFAIK, they're not based in Toronto). I also don't have my profile flagged as open to new opportunities. /ravi

I once saw a position advertised where they wanted (this is many years ago so I'm not sure I remember the exact wording) ... must have attended Microsoft Foundation Classes ... Bunch of idiots!

I have one for you, not necessarily LinkedIn but shitty recruiter related, none the less. This recruiter that was unable to place me about 5 years ago, sends me emails every so often, asking me if I know of any developers looking for work, but never actually asks me if I would be interested in the position; only if I know someone else that would be. :sigh:

I got a voicemail yesterday with the transcription sent to me, looking for a "c hash dot net" developer... So I actually listened to the message, and the headless hunter actually did say "c hash" SMH

I definitely found that to be true during my last job search. After hundreds of useless e-mails through LI, I ended up finding one through Craig's List. It was an advert posted by a recruiter but she was quite competent. Apparently the company has used her extensively and I can see why. FWIW, she is based in the Portland, OR area and works nation-wide. If anyone wants her name and info then contact me and I will pass it along.

I keep getting emails for Mainframe OPERATOR jobs that last 2-3 months and are on the opposite side of the country. I was a COBOL/IDMS developer from 1983-1995.

They made their intentions perfectly clear: They're looking for a senior developer who is willing (stupid enough) to work for a junior's pay. Makes sense! :doh:
Do they ever become Senior? And what's the definition of senior in that case?

I've still got the reference books around here somewhere, if you like to study up a bit. ;P It's multiple large volumes, and there's another book that details lower level functions that all start with "z" which I never figured out what to do with. I have no idea where I put this treasure, but I don't recall tossing any of it where it belongs...

"Senior" as in "senile"? :)

Were commuting expenses part of the package?
