What the hell is wrong with me?
I received about a dozen emails for a position in Ohio for an Ektron developer. And because the word “Ektron” appears on my resume exactly once, I get these free-range recruiters trying to convince me I would be perfect for the position. I know I’m not. I know the position is probably already filled. And I know it’s in a completely different state from where I’ll be.
Yet I still feel compelled to explain to these dudes where they’re wrong. Because it bugs me that they don’t even read the resumes. And it infuriates me that they don’t know anything about their jobs, and don’t even care.
Like I don’t have better things to do.
