Hi I'm new here, I don't know anyone on the list, but please take some

can't be bothered to send it to you himself!
Maybe it's just me, but if I were a recruiter, I'd just go "Yeah
whatever man" and keep moving.
hell-o, when yer looking for a job, why not use all the resources at
your disposal? Even at the risk of being flamed, it shows guts or even
fortitude. Might not yield anything nor look professional, but the
resource was utilized. Constructive feedback was already
offered/posted, so I will skip that portion, but I'll never cap on a
feller that asks for help in finding a job in such a way. But this
reply makes me think of strappin on the holsters.
A recruiter is going to do better than just say "whatever man".
Networking and recruiting takes skill and "love". A recruiter that is
smart is not going to trash everything with such an attitude (atleast if
they wish to stay connected for long)... even if they don't like the
method used by the prospective employee. Normally they will offer
advice (give the love), make a contact (show the love), file in the back
of their mind for later (think about love) or just file it under G (deny
the love), depending upon the value they see in the situation. But to
say "move on" would result in a regret later when that person either has
the skill sets or runs a company that provides some sort of resource
needed. Basically, what goes around ... comes around.
It's also a "small town" technology wise.
In the end, such a attitude will come back to bite ya later... sometimes
sooner.
