<rant> Amen brotha! I'm right there with you on the disservice of certain recruiters. I just went through a period that I was looking for something, and was inundated with "opportunities" from these "recruiters". Needless to say, 85% of all emails to me were of this type. And, one of the the things that really made me angry was the fact that they saw one skill on my resume that made me a "great" fit for something such as a Java developer position. Um, hello, did you NOT look at my resume? Another thing that made me discount most of these people was the fact I'd get emails that had multiple misspellings in the copy. Come on people, how can I take you serious if you can't even spell simple words properly.
